INDEX OF MAPS (DRAFT) 

Below are the primary railroads described in this book. It is not meant to be a comprehensive list (which would be overly long and tedious), but rather a way to organize many of the significant pioneer rail companies and the Class I railroads (revenue over $1 million in 1950) that eventually absorbed them. Miles refers to total miles both inside and outside of New York State. Dollar amount denotes approximate revenues in 1950.
