Maintenance of Way Sections - Shenandoah Division

[NW Mailing List]

Good morning:

Are there circa 1930s-1950s Shenandoah Division track charts which depict how the Hagerstown District was sub-divided into Maintenance of Way Sections?  I'm particularly interested in the milepost boundaries for the section which included the Boyce town limits.

I have learned through deed research that the N&W purchased an existing house at Boyce during 1924 as a residence for the Section Foreman.  A portion of the plat is attached.  Apparently the section boundaries or the living accommodations for Section Foremen changed by 1952.  In that year, the same real estate purchased in 1924 was sold by the N&W.  Apparently, not all Section Foreman housing followed standard plans.  In Boyce's situation, it was a pre-existing frame house.

Best wishes for tax day,
