Hi all, I know I havent been around in a bit, hope all is well with all of you. I need a bit of help. The BRM (Bellingham Railway Museum) is starting a Quarterly and as the Resource and research coordinator I am planning on a series of articles on the Predicessors of the BN as well as one for the Milwaukee Road. Besides the books that have the histories, does any one know of any decent website or sites that does a quick but through look at all of the RRs. The first will be the GN and NP then SP&S and Milwaukee Road. The Bellingham WA had 3 of the 4 railroads at one time and I will concintrate on these first even though the CB&Q and Frisco were big in the east. I will work on those later. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Also I would like to do one article on the harolds of the GN NP and SP&S any help there as well would be greatly appreiated!!

For the railroads that you mentioned, a great starting point on the web is the Great Northern Historical Society (http://www.gnrhs.org/). :) The "Links (http://www.gnrhs.org/links.htm)" section contains links to the other (SP&S, NP, CB&Q) historical societies as well as a few other "web resources".
