Can anyone point me to a map on the 'Net for a predecessor company? Am looking for something that might show the Current River RR.

Also, what year was the CRRR merged into the Frisco?

:D

I'm not knowlegable on the Current River RR graemlins/headscratch.gif , but I poked around the net out of curiosity to see what I could dig up for you...

Possible Map Resources:

History on relevant RR Mergers:

1) http://tacnet.missouri.org/~mgood/clintonrr/kcfsm.html#KCFSG
2) http://web.umr.edu/~whmcinfo/shelf15/r362/guide.html (once this page loads, use CTRL-F then type "Current River" to find all references)

Hope these are helpful if nobody else is able to provide additional information.

Cheers! -Mike

I can look in my history of the railroad book. I don't recall that one though.

I'll get back later...

The story behind my question is this: I am a devout train order collector. (From ALL RR's world wide!) After many long years of looking, I finally have what should be a CRRR example for my collection. I thought it was on their line. But was not 100% certain. It's copied on a joint KCFS&M/KCC&S/CRRR form. And now I know for certain that it is a CRRR line order. smile.gif

If anyone can find the date, I'd really appreciate knowing when the CRRR was absorbed into the Frisco. I always make note of this in my paperwork.

Thanks all!

:D
