B&M Orders Ken, those are fascinating. I hadn't paid attention to orders before, let alone read them while looking at a route map. BTW, most are Fitchburg Division, except for Bellows Falls (VT) which is Conn River Division. I believe Amherst is also Conn River, but I could be mistaken because I thought the south end of Conn River was Greenfield, and Amherst is south of Greenfield on the line that connects with the New Haven at Springfield.....?
Hank- I've been collecting these for many long years. Am constantly amazed by how few people do the same. The bulk of RRdiana collectors seem hooked on keys, locks, lanterns, timetables, and choo choo pictures. Having overlooked paper completely. Trains could not move without these items! Tells me that most RRdiana collectors don't know much about railroads at all! Boxcab E50
