Folios are a form of simple blueprints and every railroad in the US had them through the 1980's. Most of the recovered folios are in poor shape

and so require extensive repair, editing, and in some cases redrafting.

Each Road or Category has a separate section

so be sure to scroll all the way down to see them all.

Shipping charged in the shopping cart for these books is for US addresses.
