OK, I know I'm really reaching, but I have decided to kill some time and transition the paper copies I have of the CNJ into an AutoCAD format. I am an experienced draftsman and architect; I took my draftsman's scale to the track maps and in what I have 1"=1mile. This is where I get lost - Starting from CP Beach (MP 0)there are 2 main tracks represented by parallel solid lines, on paper they are 1/16" apart from one another. When I translate that into the established 1"=1mile scale, 1/16"=330'. Now I know there is not 330' between the two main tracks, but as a draftsman I don't understand how these track maps were actually scaled by the draftsman that prepared them. Can anyone shed some light on this, that being as to why there doesn't seem to be any definitive scale to the track maps?
