Pennsy track plans...

[frogpipe]

Anybody got em? What I'm looking for a info on the yard that was just north of North Avenue in Baltimore.

This is JUST past the turn toward the B&P Tunnel, so technically it's the south end of the Northern Central Railroad, but since that was owned by Pennsylvania Railroad I'm hoping it might appear in their info, should any of you many Pennsy fans have such info....

It's not *that* important, since this yard is really just scenery across the Jones Falls from the M&P route I'm doing, I just wanted it to be right.

I have NEC track charts from the 60's-80's, but yards usually aren't diagrammed. I'll check when I get home.

Well, here's hoping... Thanks for having a look!

You might try a search of Library of Congress site for maps of Baltimore. I seem to recall one from the 1930's.

I have several maps from 1900-1950, but they are street maps and therefore not really to be trusted regarding the exact layout of tracks.

Wow thanks! This is actually looking at the other end of the valley, but never the less it gives me a great view of details I didn't have before! Awesome!
