This railroad atlas provides coverage for West Virginia, Kentucky, Virginia, Tennessee and North Carolina. This 2nd edition (2004) of SPV's Railroad Atlas of APPALACHIA & PIEDMONT covers the coal rich region of Appalachia and the coastal plains of the Piedmont. It has been fully revised to show the changes in the rail network since the publication of the first edition in 1997 and to incorporate a number of abandoned lines which have been discovered in the meantime, many through the efforts of Basil Watkins.
