About this map: Notice a line beginning at the top right corner. This
line is actually the alternate alignment. This alternate alignment is
seen crossing what was to be the actual choosen alignment coming out
from the 3:00 position. Notice the alternate crosses and drops south
and travels south east of the town of Somerset and then climbs to
the northeast of the town and then curves north around just outside the
town. The section of this alternate route north and west would become
the alignment of the PW&S railroad and later the Pennsylvania
Turnpike exiting the map at the 9:00 position to head west. The choosen
route is seen disappearing to the north well north of the town seen
here on this map at the 12:00 position.
These maps will adorn your
wall and make a great gift and conversation piece as friends come over
to visit. Well detailed survey maps showing the alignments across
different sections of the railroad route. Now get your own copy of the
historic South Pennsylvania Railroad route.
