Radford Division etts

The employee timetables would have schedules, miles from Norfolk, 
special instructions and more, but would not have locations of signals 
or track charts. I would imagine the archives has copies of most any 
year in the 1950s, but finding signal locations and track charts is a 
bit more of a stretch. I would like to find those for the 1946-1954 era 
myself to produce a dispatcher simulation for Train Dispatcher for the 
Radford Division and after making that work, the other divisions with 
proper information. Timetables I can help you with, the other???
