Track profiles

I certainly don't count this as very applicable to anything I am modeling, but it is an interesting chart that is a comparison of the routes from the Lake Erie to New York City of the railroads New York, Albany and Buffalo, New York and Erie, and the Pennsylvania. The hatched (darkened) areas are the portions of the routes that are already completed at the time this chart was drawn.

Profile chart comparing routes between Lake Erie and New York City. No date is shown, but could probably be surmised by finding completion dates for the sections of the routes that are complete. Collection of the author.
