Another good place to go for topographic maps besides _www.topozone.com_ 
(http://www.topozone.com/)  is _http://terraserver.microsoft.com/_ 
(http://terraserver.microsoft.com/)    You can look at and print any USGS map section and/or 
a photo of  the same area, in several scales.  Many, if not most, of the  
"abandoned railroad grades" shown on these maps and you can switch from the map  
to the photo of the same area.

Jerry,
 
I'm not sure of the exact directions; however, anyone with the  convention 
should be able to direct you to Vardo.  It is located very  near the Outlet Mall 
off I-70; actually, the exit just west of the Outlet  Mall will dump you out 
almost at Vardo.  I did not find a very friendly  reception from the NS 
personnel on my last visit several years ago.   Good luck.

I will be attending the NMRA regional convention at Hagerstown next  weekend. 
 Believe Vardo yard is nearby; does anyone have good  directions ?  I do not 
have USGS map of the area; can go with  mapquest if I know what to look for.
