Internally, NS used to publish a relatively up to date system map that was fairly large with the company emblem on it. I don’t think it had mileposts though. I think I got it on one of their steam excursions as NS marketing material.
BALTACD is right, railroad has the best info available.
If you want accuracy, the national crossing database has every crossing, down to the nearest hundreth.

Then, again, so do most ETT’s.

No, I mean the NS Engineering Dept. track charts linked above, as others have noted - not those in the ETTs.
Somehow I just don’t envision NS being too cooperative with such a request from any John Q Public. Am I wrong to think that way?
I mean they are going to want to know "who are you? what’s the name of the horse you rode in on? Who do you work for? why do you want to know? Are you now or have you ever been involved in litigation involving a railroad? Stuff like that.

Your points are valid, which is why it’s best to just go to what’s available online. Might be a little dated (2008 - 2009 versions) but I’d bet 98% of it is still accurate.
I agree Paul, I believe that you and I both recognized that Multimodalways was the best choice. I’m just a little puzzled by the extraneous chatter from others suggesting that NS’ engineering dept would even respond to such a request, let alone cooperate.
I doubt we’d be getting “thoroughbred service” when the discussion got around to the horse we rode in on. [}:)]
NS Engineering ain’t gonna share. The law department made sure of that.
(What’s in the back of a timetable is generally a condensed profile and has nowhere near the detail of a track chart. There are plenty out there that have no clue about what a track chart provides and there are plenty more who can’t understand or read the thing. Misinterpreting the track chart is frequently what starts nuisance lawsuits by busybodies …and then you get into the crap opined by the EagleOne schmucks (CSX is at war with them)…)
