That's a very interesting map!! It's the first time I see a map where the rail is German, which spoils my theory that if you get confused at Vennbahn, always remember the rails is Belgium.

If you compare with the map Monschau2.jpg at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BoundaryPoint/message/2696, you can see how they made two very narrow salients at border markers 675J and 675K to keep the road German, but only until the rail area.

Are you able to scan a larger area, I would love to see it.

Subject: [BoundaryPoint] Part of Vennbahn in German territory

Brendan and others, I dug up a Belgian map of the Vennbahn to hopefully see a complicated piece of the border in one spot, that was unclear on German maps. See the enlargement attached. Does anyone here think it shows other than the tracks crossing Germany for the width of the underlying road? I think I've located an official of the Vennbahn I hope to speak to on the phone next week, who is, according to a city official in Monschau, the local expert who is knowledgeable about the political regime of the railway.
