I have rearranged the Baltimore Railfan Guide to provide a breakout for maps outside the immediate Baltimore area.  I hope it makes navigating things easier.

While it may not seem like much, I recently came across several floppies which contained maps 1, 2, 4, and 5, saving me oodles of time to recreate them.  I was beginning to wonder if I would ever find a back-up for what was on the hard drive of one of my two computers that crashed last fall. 

Since the original batch of maps were originally done in 1999, not much has really changed.  The Light Rail system has been fully double tracked, and we are in the process of changing over from the Mercantile Bank to PNC.  While this may not seem significant to the railfan, 40 years ago, Mercantile's name could be found on almost every B&O engine... aren't you glad you didn't have the payment booklet for a brand new GP-35?  Because of that, and the fact that I've had my money with them for 35 years, it's the end of another era!

If your interested, the old B&W GIF maps on the Comcast website are here:
