Hey guys, I got an update to this that is 95% complete so please, be patient because this next release I pretty big. The new update will have a new link as well.
Some updates due very soon...
1.) Location of the Wiscasset and Quebec will be amended to follow the actual grade.
2.) Location of the W&Q will have some locations amended to show 'as surveyed' vs. 'as built'.
3.) Location of the Waterville and Wiscasset, aka The Winslow Branch, will be updated to follow the actual grade.
4.) Location of the W&W will have some locations amended to show 'as surveyed' vs. 'as built'. (Not that many on this one.)
5.) The location, from Farmington to Waterville of the Franklin, Somerset, and Kennebec!
This one, let me tell you, was a pain in the buttocks. This will show well over 3 weeks of work in just mapping the line not counting the research, record chasing, calculations, excel nightmare, adjusting, correction, and all other impediments to actually getting this one to work.
I will note here that the FS&K survey was a nightmare...a complete nightmare. Details will be gone into later, but with a survey like this it's a wonder the Farmington to New Sharon segment was graded. To say that the survey was preliminary would be an exaggeration!
A little side note...
The FS&K was surveyed in two parts.
The first segment was from Farmington to New Sharon, starting at surveyors station -04+45 in the MEC yard to the crossing of the Sandy River in New Sharon at 471+14. ---8.92 miles---
The second segment was from New Sharon to Waterville, starting at surveyors station 00+00 on the cape Cod Hill Road in New Sharon and ending at 1508+00 on Western Avenue in Waterville. ---28.56 miles---
The W&W survey was starting in Waterville at 00+00 on Western Avenue and worked its way TO Weeks Mills and not FROM Weeks Mills at 844+80. ---16.00 miles---
