Vic and Mike,
Welcome to the forum !
Did a quick search, using the Index of Magazines at the top of the page. Here’s the link:
http://index.mrmag.com/tm.exe?opt=S&sort=D&output=3&cmdtext=BC%26G
There are at least two different track plans among the other BC&G articles cited. For photocopies of the articles, contact the NMRA’s Kalmbach Memorial Library:

The price is reasonable, even if you’re not a member
Hope this helps.

either MR or RMC did an article in the late 50’s or 60’s that was pretty thorough for the day. You may need to consider USGS maps to trace the entire route. You should be able to view them on terraserver.

Vic and Mike,
As Ndbprr aptly points out, and I forgot, there are the USGS quadrangle maps, but I suggest MapTech instead of Terraserver:

( I have a thing about not being overly fond of Microsoft.)
