I wish that I could help you, but unfortunately I don't know either. If anyone has this information though I would really appreciate it as well. Hopefully someone out there has the information so we can use it.

You could be like Kuju and just make the whole thing flat. Great to see you guys are actually putting some thought into the route. You may want to try Steam Powered Video. They have very extesive rail atlases, but I'm not sure if they show grades. I don't own any myself but railfans have told me they're really good. Sorry I can't be of more help.
RE: Accurate Grade info for the NEC Philly Division?
i live 2 blocks away from the Northeast Corridor and travel 9 miles of it a day to and from work on Septa so i can probably swing it but who knows Bob Philadelphia, Pa
RE: Accurate Grade info for the NEC Philly Division?
Somebody in SEPTA or PennDOT is bound to have a copy of the track charts, which should tell you the current track configuration, as well as curvature and gradients. It will probably cost you a couple of bucks for copying charges. -Phil
