Hi Mike and Rick,
I have two of those booklets but I don't recall where I got them.  
They're called "Along The Right of Way" and were published by the  
N&W. They list every town in a division that had a depot where the  
population was at least 100 people. A brief description is given of  
the industries in each area. One of my copies used census data from  
1940, the other from 1952. It's worth looking for one. Try used  
bookseller, amazon and eBay.
