Resources like this, or even a quick Googemaps/GoogeEarth doublecheck, would go a long way toward improving the accuracy in maps published in rail magazines. One in particular seems to rely too heavily on its automated RR map-drawing software, which contains some extremely outdated source material. Once again, they have presented what is supposed to be a contemporary view of the Northwest, except that BNSF's ex-GN main is shown on its pre-1970s alignment just west of Spokane, WA, looping north through Highland. And BNSF's ex-NP main is shown on its pre-1960s alignment between Athol and Granite, ID.
