Have you covered the years 1965-1968 yet, or did I miss them? The book Ernie Robart co-authored several years ago has a LOT of photos of freight operations during the last four years* - with the dates they were taken - but doesn't provide the names of the crews. IMHO, it would be great to be able to cross-reference your postings with Ernie and Joe's photos of specific trains!
No, I have not covered they years 1965-1968 on a daily basis.
Yes, that would be a good project. For me there are many enjoyable aspects in dealing the train sheet information. One of them is matching info with photos. I could sort out the photo days and post for each photo date. At this point I can’t say when I would begin posting that info but I will put it on a burner and get started. I hate to say this but the first item would be to locate my copy of the book. Shouldn’t be hard I saw it a few weeks ago.
