TLC has a pretty good book out on Norfolk & Western passenger service in the postwar era up to the creation of Amtrak. I don't know if it's still...
Norfolk Southern's official history page says 1982. Norfolk Southern - About NS - NS History
I am going to the local Amtrak station Saturday for an all-night railfan binge before school starts next week.
It's a small world, friscobob. I was just across I-5 from you that same day chasing a rock track back down to Salem from where I intercepted it...
I meant people that buy others' slides to add to their collection. I, too, have been shooting slides of my own travels but sometimes it's nice to...
Are there any other active slide collectors here on Trainboard? I recently started buying original slides for some articles and books I'm working...
