A few sidings and lead tracks still remain, at least the ballast, just walk or bike the trail from UT out to Wildwood or King.
I know the building near the Central ave overpass (Georgia Pacific???) used to have rail service with quite an array of trackage visible from the trail. I think only the stone is still there but you can clearly see where 6 or 7 tracks entered a loading facility.
Also, At Vulcan only the E&K and the TT crossed. The TA&W came off of the TT south of the junction, turned west in the southwest quadrant, and parelleled the E&K westward.
All the TA&W corporate papers are part of the Canaday collection in the UT library. That may be a good place to look for a map. Since it's been 30 years since I was a student there, I'm not even sure I'd know how to get there!
Well lucky for us...I am a UT faculty member and would easily be granted access to the TA&W corporate papers. Let us hope I can take digital pics of the maps (or copy them) without any problems.
