Anyone know of a way to search for railroad tracks to see where they go?

Google earth is a good tool to use. You can zoom right in and follow the tracks

I've used Google Earth's satellite pics extensively !
I've designed 15 different model railroads, and LOVE being able to start at a given rail-station, and then track the tracks... seeing local buildings and the terrain.
I've been able to get a sense of things I've never seen on foot.

I use to work for the tramways in Melbourne & some of the gunzels had maps of both the present sytem & citys that had been closed, such as Geelong. I would suggest you look up: The Railfan Shop, 40 Market St., Melbourne, VIC., Australia, 3000. Telephone: (03) 9621 2238

Indeed, try Google Earth or Microsoft's Live Local. Both, especially Microsoft's, provide excellent, detailed GPS images worldwide.

satelite images? use mapquest, focus on one area with train tracks, then scroll along the tracks, never tried it, might work!! might take time to follow them on foot, lol or just get some maps
