Is there a place on the internet that I can download a railroad map of the northeast corridor? Seeing that I'm recreating the MBTA once again, I would like to make as accurate as I can as far as the tracks are concerned.Joe simerjoe@cox.net
OK, here's the way I do it, go to Microsoft's website and get the IE5.5 Powertoys, the website says they don't work with 6.0 but I've never had a problem with it. Go to www.microsoft.terraserver.com and find your selection and look at the satelite pics of the area. Then right click and select Zoom In, and you get spectacular views of actual photos of the area. Then go to www.topozone.com, look at the topographical maps, the mouse will show you the exact lat and long coordinates in the status bar at the bottom of IE, you can enter them in the route editor camera and go to the exact spot something should be. Pretty cool, eh???Rob
