Where can I find track diagrams of the Alaska Railroad and Florida East Coast Railroad?
Here’s something for the FEC. FEC Track Chart 1996.pdf (multimodalways.org)
The Multimodal site has an Alaska RR employee timetable on it. It has within the ETT subdivision grade profiles. If that’s what you want, here’s the link. 3_toc (multimodalways.org) There’s also a general order available that shows some changes to track layout, but not for the entire railroad.

I have both the Alaska and FEC track charts. If you email me off list at igoldberg1@comcast.net I will send them to you.

Looking at the FEC track chart it is apparent that they did very little ‘engineering’ in laying out the line - build bridges over waterways and lay the track on the ground. Multiple undulations large and small with very few of the being sustained for any distance. Max grade being approximately 0.3%
Those must be the two farthest-apart railroads in the continental US!
