Description: 1943 Linn Westcott Pictorial Map of the Railroads of Colorado WE SELL ONLY ORIGINAL ANTIQUE MAPS - NOT REPRODUCTIONS Title: Colorado Railroads. Description: This is a dramatic 1943 pictorial map of Colorado intended to glorify and illustrate that state's many historic railroads. The map was drawn by Linn H. Wescott for Train Magazine. The map covers the entire state with topography rendered via shading. Creeks and rivers are noted and colored in blue. As might be anticipated railway lines are represented throughout: the Burlington Route, the Colorado and Southern, the Rock Island, the Denver and Rio Grande, the Union Pacific, the Santa Fe Line, and the Western Pacific Lines, among others. Rail lines are broken down by the type of train Standard or Narrow Gage, as well as those currently operating vs those abandoned, as well as electric vs. rack and pinion. Red text on the map proper identifies rail passes, gorges, weather the routes are curvy or straight, and other information important to the railroad enthusiast. The map is surrounded by numerous smaller detail maps as well six illustrative vignettes. The map is accompanied by a large index sheet. A scarce map that rarely appears on the market. Size: Printed area measures 23 inches high by 37 inches wide. Condition: Very good condition. Even overall toning. Light wear along original fold lines. Index on verso. Accompanied by original paper sleeve. Shipping: Shipping rates are not negotiable. Items are shipped within three business days of receiving payment.

DHL or FedEx will contact the buyer by telephone to arrange tax payment if it is levied. Duty varies by country and we cannot predict the amount you will be charged. Some countries are duty free, others are not. Typically, a customs duty and/or VAT tax will be assessed on all parcels to continental Europe. Sometimes duty or tax is due in China, but is seems very random. Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea, and Taiwan have never assessed duty on a map we shipped. Maps shipped to the UK should be duty free as educational materials, but from time to time duty of 5% is assessed incorrectly by the UK customs agents.
