Re: (erielack) North Jersey Track Diagrams



Hank-

I've taken a look at your drawings on your web site and they are impressive
and to the best of my rememberances, appear to be right.  I lived in
Rutherford NJ for the first twenty years of my life and "hung out" around
the BJ Tower and  Rutherford/East Rutherford complex and knew that area
inside out.  Looks good on your diagram.

You have a "sometimes wavy line" under the track diagram.  Can you tell me
what that represents??

Also the lines below the wavy line seems to portray "grades"?  Is that
correct??
