Agreed. And that's what is neat. This document talks about tracks,switches,branches that are long gone.

While the divisions may have been reorganised over the next 70 years, I suspect that the physical limits would change only with track variations.

Thanks Rupert. There are some gems in this,especially in the description of physical limits for each zone.

There is a 1902 book available on line “C B & Q Construction & Operating Expenses” at https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=hvd.hb1kqr;view=1up;seq=23

It lists in finite detail what was to be charged against what financial account and thereby includes some interesting information. It lists, for example, the principal equipment to be carried on a passenger train. At the front of the book, the exact limits of all the accounting divisions and sub-divisions are specified. For example -

Galva to Gladstone.
>From switch 612 feet west of west end of depot at Galva to
switch in side track 1358.8 feet east of mile post 197 at Gladstone.

I would expect these to be the same limits as the general divisions and sub-divisions.
