C&O Track, Maintenance-of-Way and Roadway Structures – Drawing & Data Handbook
The following information was assembled for people interested in “modeling the prototype”. The drawings in this packet are from a Book of Standard Plans issued by the C&O Railway’s “Advisory Committee on Way and Structures”. The drawings herein are some of the guidelines the railroad used in the construction of the “real” railroad. The 1937 edition of the Railway Engineering and Maintenance Cyclopedia was also referenced as it is an “Authoritative Manual of Engineering, Maintenance and Signaling. Including definitions, descriptions, illustrations and methods of use of the materials, equipment and devices employed in the construction and maintenance of the track, bridges, etc.
The materials in this packet are just a small portion of the many items we have in our archival collection of railroad artifacts that help document the history of the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway and modelers of all scales.
Be sure to read the ”Notes” on each drawing. Typically they include valuable information of paint colors to be used when and where, types and sizes of materials, etc.
