Most of the last month has been taken up with travel to visit family and friends, but I have gotten started on roadbed and track. One reference I'm using to lay out not only the track, but the various scenic elements such as roads, waterways, buildings, and the like are Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps.
The Library of Congress has been making considerable progress posting scans of the full color original maps and posting them on the LOC website (www.loc.gov).
Here are the maps showing the Richford, Vt. feedmill (top) and the Central Vermont Railway yard. (Click the links or images below to go to the map on the LOC web site).
Any chance you can enlarge the image of the CV yard and veneer mill so we can read what the buildings are used for?
