Disclaimer: The line doesn't make the wild gyrations in elevation
shown above. The concept of tracing the railroad on the Topo map program
is such that it hasn't the ability to account for grade corrections made
by the RR. For example: cuts, bridges, fills, and tunnels are not accounted
for. So therefore the elevation line above may go over a peak or deep into
a valley, whereas the RR might go through a tunnel or over a bridge easing
the grade of the RR line. The map is meant to show general altitude changes
only. I have included the map to help the railfan determine the approximate
grade inclinations faced by the RR in a given area. For example: Between
Topock and Kingman the RR is climbing gradually in the eastward direction,
and downhill to the west. Does this make sense? I hope so. :)
