or Maptech's photomaps. http://www.maptech.comIf you're looking for accurate curves and grades you will need to spend alot of money buying track plans. Just do a websearch and you'll find tons of sites that sell them for tons of money. Just be sure to weed out -model or you'll end up with model railroad trackplan sites.-Andy

"RE: Can anyone tell me where can find any PA,NJ,NY Amtrak Maps that" I though I gave you the reference to my rail map site for the mainline through NJ?Here's a direct example:http://raildata.railfan.net/prr/prrunion.htmlFor free, it doesn't get much better. This is the railroad's own curve and elevation data. The 1963 date? This track alignment hasn't changed much in the last 100 years. Maybe some of the curves have been eased, maybe some new sidings, maybe some gone, maybe a few more over/underpasses. If anything has changed, some of the interlocking alignments have. The 2 track segment between Newark and NYC is being upgraded to accomodate a new NJT station and interchange with the Hoboken Division trains of NJT(passengers, not trains for now). And a new station between Newark and Elizabeth for Newark Airport shuttle service. Trust me, having examined the MSTS DC>PHL segment with CURRENT track charts, it's not that great.
