    I've added a couple of small pages to my site. First is the Butte, Anaconda & Pacific RY. While not actually a Milw owned company, there was plenty of crossover in interest. From electrification, to copper, Mr. Ryan and...:

    And also Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound RY:

    Lines West subsidiary to the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul RY, the CM&PS was the initial operator of the Pacific Extension until absorbed in CM&ST.P on January 1, 1913.

    Keep watching. I hope to have a page up of my CM&ST.P RY stuff, later today, or early tomorrow.

    CMSt.P&PRR will be a while, as that is a massive file to scan and upload. Preparing it will take some time. I may need to break it down in a State by State fashion for easier surfing. Will see how it goes. Right now in a the midst of some Canadian short lines a friend in Canada has requested.

    Dear Ken,

    Very nice! Thank you for your work. I like how nice and neat the cursive writing is on the old paperwork. yet another art soon to be lost. I think my generation was one of the last to have cursive drills for what seemed like years. Then again, my old man would sneer everytime I broke out a calculator. "We learned how to do that in our head with only a slide rule to help!". I would reply with a, "and don't forget about your abacus".
