Greetings Everyone, I figured this would be the best place to post this since the C&EI was eventually absorbed the L&N. I'm looking for anyone that has old track maps/track charts for the C&EI / L&N between Evansville and Chicago. The time period I'm looking for would be anything from the late 1960's thru the early 1980's. If you have anything like this or know where I can find it let me know. I've searched all the providers of track maps that I'm aware of. I do have a map book for this trackage already, but it's CSX and dated circa 1995. A little newer than I really want. Thanks in advance for any info! Mike C Phoenix Az
Mike- I'm wondering if there's a little confusion here. The Chicago & Eastern Illinois was absorbed into the Missouri Pacific during 1976. By any chance were you thinking of the Monon Railroad? It went into the L&N. Track maps potential source: http://trainsite.8m.com Usually on the pricey side. Reproduction quality spotty. But probably the largest collection available. Boxcab E50
Yeah, as Matthew mentioned the Eastern portion between Woodland Jct and Evansville was absorbed by the L&N while the MoPac took the Western portion from Woodland Jct to St. Louis. I'm trying to find old track maps of the Eastern/L&N portion circa late 1960's/early to mid 1970's. I've checked the trainsite catalog in the past and haven't really found much. I'll keep looking though. I'm planning a trip back to my hometown this fall sometime. Hopefully I can visit the C&EI Historical Society and find something from them. Thanks! Mike C Phoenix
