North America Railroad Map contains data for the entire North American railroad network (United States, Canada and Mexico). Just mouseover or click on the map to see current and historical data for specific stretches of track on current and abandoned railroad lines (lines abandoned prior to 1970 will probably not be displayed). Data includes a graphic display of each railroad line. Additional data (where available) tells you previous owners, post World War II owners, passenger, traffic density, FRA class, type of signaling, and whether this stretch of track is abandoned. Map zooms out to lower 48 states, or zooms in to city level. Geographically correct, this map uses FRA and USGS data, so scaling and track locations are accurate. Researched and programmed by Ron Paludan, an experienced PC mapmaker and railfan, this software program combines history and geography to fulfill a need-to-know for railfans and rail historians. Look up railroads, or just find out about that stretch of track you've been wondering about.

North American Railroad Map Version 3.0 has these exciting new features:
  • Updated with new data from the U.S. DOT and FRA. For U.S. railroads this includes current operator, traffic, signaling, trackage rights, previous operators and passenger use.
  • Shows trackage and operators for Canada and Mexico
  • Over 1200 current and past railroads listed
  • Display all railroads by class (1-3)
  • Locate over 11,000 stations by name, junction code, Zip Code or SPLC code.
  • Change station title fonts
  • Select multiple (up to 5) railroads with custom colors and line styles
  • Toggle individual station titles on/off
  • Detail Map - Optional inset map shows greater detail in the U.S.A. based on USGS 1:100,000 maps. (Detail maps are not included for Canada and Mexico)
  • Aerial Photos and Topographic maps Online - The program links to Google Maps, Microsoft Terraserver or TopoZone.com via your web browser and displays an aerial photograph or topo map of the area currently being viewed.
  • Calculate approximate mileage for railroads or selected routes.

"This latest release makes trackage and other data searching much more efficient and more detail is available than ever before," states Ron Paludan, the programmer. "Version 3 updates the entire railroad map system to further benefit railfans, government, and business clients."

"By using cutting edge mapping tools and a wealth of new content, we strive to make each version of this product more useful and easier to use. The maps are much improved, and in greater detail than ever before."
