Maps show mainlines, shortlines, Amtrak, commuter and tourist lines. In addition to the usual city, state and system maps, the 1999 edition will have a final Conrail map and post-merger CSX, NS, and Northeastern states with traffic projections. You'll also find UP's new directional routes, the latest Amtrak changes, the newest commuter routes and tourist lines. Purchased by railfans, railroads, suppliers and shippers. Foreign vacationers use the Atlas to find the busiest routes to maximize the number of trains they see during their valuable vacation time.
Domestic travelers use the maps to plot their drive along the busiest routes.
Others drop by to ride every tourist line along the way.
