Greetings,

We need scans, photos, and actual Metrorail maps to complete an archive from the system's opening thru today.  If you can provide an actual map, we can image it and return it to you when we have completed the process.

Tristan,

From an earlier thread, I DO have some maps from the early years (including a wall map showingthe Green Line having an alignment to Rosecroft.)  As soon as I get the chance, I'll take pictures and e-mail them to you,

Blue Line train to Stadium-Armory -- Doors Closing
Orange Line train to Ballston -- Doors Closing

Next station -- Nicholson Lane -- Doors open on the left

This is very very much appreciated.  It might be a good idea to illuminate the room well and take pictures of 1/4 of each map at a time...send me the 4 shots and I can splice them together.  This will ensure a higher quality digitization (larger size).

Of course, a single photo is good as well!

I'll do both....I'm not a photographic genius, so I'll take extras and you can do what you want with them....I'll normally have you come to the house, but I'm 3 hours away.

We never got any maps, so nothing :-/

I'm sure once we ramp up output, more contributions will come.

It's okay, I probably wouldn't have had time to do anything with them recently anyway, the holidays damn near killed me.
