Attached are two kmz files (for Google Earth or Google Maps) tracing the
routes based on digital elevation data showing the right of way if still
existent or using older maps and aerial photos if not. Tracing should be
accurate to within 5 or so feet. You can load the file into a gps (or Google
Earth on a gps enabled smart phone) and use it in the field. I have not had
a chance to explore this right-of-way in the field yet, but other
rights-of-ways I have explored in the field were quite accurate. If you
find anything way off, let me know so I can correct it.
I am in the process of tracing the routes of abandoned railroads, street
cars and interurbans in Ohio and Western Pa using this technique.
