Home Printed Track Maps

On this page I have made two PDF files available. These PDFs are actual pages from the second edition of the book, and should give you a good feel for how the maps are set up and of the detail level presented.

Please note that these images are from 1998 and are definitely out-of-date. In fact, the Broadway Junction page is definitely woth keeping for its historic value, as the station area has been cut back considerably since this page first appeared.

Note: You will need Adobe Acrobat reader to open these pages. This is a free program available by following this link.

PDF Closeup map of Broadway Junction

Broadway Junction details. This page is a typical example of a close-up map page. Its view is closer to scale than normal map pages, and it shows the more important home signals; the ones that protect diverging routes. Maps like this also show the commonly-used routings for each route.


PDF file of Downtown E map pageThe Lower East Side of Manhattan is shown in this typical map page. There are approximately 60 of these map pages in the book, 32 pages of introduction and 23 yard drawings and approximately 20 pages of close ups of the system's most complex junctions. These map pages are not to scale, however they do show a very close co-relation between lines where one crosses over/under another. Pages for Manhattan and the Bronx are aligned vertically. Pages for Brooklyn and Queens are aligned horizontally.
