The new edition of the "Northeast" volume of SPV's railroad atlas should be hitting the bookstores about now. Thanks to all on this forum who helped with queries on obscure short lines and long-dead routes.

We tried to get every single common-carrier railroad that ever functioned in the region into this volume, and as many of the private lines that we could find and fit into the scale. Also interurbans.

The result is, it had to be perfect-bound instead of being stapled together!

The large-scale Baltimore map is an improvement.

Does this edition show Delaware, and if so, to what extent? Even spurs and sidings serving agricultural customers in Sussex County?

Pages 6, 7, and 8 cover Delaware, and although there's more detail than in previous editions, it mainly illustrates main lines, yards, industrial tracks, etc. It's not a substitute for an employee timetable, but it's an excellent tool for locating current and abandoned rail lines, and it's well worth its price.
