gladstone yard

[rdenman62]

I'm new to this forum and my interest is n scale. I've been looking for an accurate map,prferably a drawing of the layout of gladstone yard showing all tracks and turnouts, buildings etc. There's a pretty good one in a book but its for the steam era. I'm modeling the modern era. Tried google earth,maptec terraserver etc...but cannot get clear enough picture to show the actual layout of the yard. I'm hoping someone here can help. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I"ll see what I can find. I think I may have exactly what your looking for.

fantastic!! I've been putting off building my layout because of this...I just want to replicate the yard as prototypical as possible. Thanks.....

Mike,
Just wondering if you've found anything yet on the yard?

Try maptech.com. I've found they're pretty close in most cases. For modeling purposes they should get you close enough.

I know by looking at satellite photos the yard has changed quite a bit...I even wrote to CN for maps or anything and they told me "nothing like that exists"...so I am relying on someone here. Soo line Historical didn't have anything. I recieved a response from everyone I contacted and basically no one had anything along the lines of what I'm looking for. A good sketch of the yard and facilities would be just fine I think at this point. Doesn't have to be to scale or anything. Just something to know how many turnouts, tracks, buildings, signals...etc

Haven't come up with anything yet, I'm going to find my UP binder, I've got some old SOO and CNW track charts for the mains up there.
