DavidTurner Member # 3798	posted EST (Toronto) - 11:00 AM Tuesday: Need response within 2 hours!!!! (after that, response will still be useful) I've been asked to get some rail distance data between NA cities (or best-guess as the crow flies, in a pinch!), but using MapQuest.com or similar sites is too time-consuming. Need something like a Road Map's city-to-city table, but ideally in a spreadsheet, text file, or other copy-able document. I can't find anything on any government, OR railway site, that provides the info I need. There MUST be some sites out there with either online text, or downloadable files... Any help appreciated! I'm out of time, and desperate to get this info! ** Pure luck will have you reading this within the hour of the post (assuming the post is instant!) & be able to reply - I'll be checking every 10 minutes or so as I continue using Mapquest...) Thanks for anything helpful!

SteveD Member # 43	posted U.P. once had a "mileage calculator" on its website. By inserting place names one could get distances by rail. Dunno if it is still there, but you might check.
