Here's something that might be of interest. It's a web site with links to Google Satellite Maps of over 20 rail lines. Some are very detailed and others are not.
On the Chicago, South Shore & South Bend map I can get in so close I can almost count the rail ties. Other maps get blurred if I try to get in to close. Don't be fooled by the title of the link. There's several other interesting links there also.
