I've added some extra notes to the published drawing to help associate the gradients with particular features. You should note that this picture is taken from the NNR Operating Manual whose copyright is owned by the NNR and is shown here as an additional, personal aid to enable better understanding of the route, for volunteer crew on the NNR. It cannot be used for any commercial purpose.
