The Flimsy Fanatic

It's been a while since my last entry. I've uploaded my SP&S train order collection. Also in that same TOUR section are what I have from the Oregon Trunk RY, and the Oregon Electric RY.

Earlier this past week, I had a former Southern Pacific operator contact me about train orders. He and several other family members had at one time been employed as agents and or operators on the Los Angeles Division. After scouring through my collection, I came up with some of interest, including a few he and family had copied. It's always a lot of of fun exchanging emails and learning employment history. Sometimes they can have somequite fascinating tales to tell.

Anyhow, I've created ...

Several news ones uploaded, following a conversation in the New York, New Haven & Hartford Fallen Flag Forum here.

I've created a page with some of my recent years depot photos, taken in Washington, Idaho and Montana. BN, GN, MILW, NP, UP:

:D

I have uploaded some views of depots to my web site:

http://www.train-orders.com/RFAN/RFAN.html

Look in the "Assorted Depots" section.

These were all taken in the past few years, in western Montana and Washington. Much has changed. Views are now partly obscured by trees, brush, other buildings and refuse. But at least they survive. Some poignant memories stirred after all the years now gone by.

Well, as I was on the US east coast last time and did the C&NW there, thought I'd do some C&NW back west of the Mississippi River. This time it's Chicago & North Western Railway stations in the Dakotas.

Indeed. These initials almost always bring into mind "Chicago & North Western" to the majority of fans. But there were actually others. California Northwestern was one. And also the Carolina and Northwestern yet another. I'd not be surprised to learn there were others....

These two companies now on my web site to explore:

Uploaded a couple more to my web site tonight. Both companies which have "Denver" in their company names;

Denver, Northwestern and Pacific RY;

The Denver and Rio Grande Railroad.
