I always enjoyed boarding 20 and stepping down from 19 at this "suburban" station. I expect that the SRHA files may not have one interesting aspect of it, though, since NS was diligent to trashing

Hello Ike; As another modeler of the Southern lines in North Carolina (in my case, the S line from Spencer/Salisbury to Morganton) this doesn't surprise me as much as you might think. I have the good

Ike, Specifically what are you trying to accomplish with the Brookwood station drawings? A re constructed set of original drawings? Organized arrangement of existing drawings or composite of Floor

Mike: I promise Asheville was more than a “Service Area”. I used several of these charts in a presentation to the Lexington Group a few years ago. Even an audience that knowledgable about RR

Mike: Unfortunately, I had a complete set that were loaned to someone and never returned. For years, I have asked if anyone knows of them and if they could be returned. The “loan” was long before

Ike: Have you seen any drawings of the Asheville Station? If so I would love to have a copy of it for my project. Mike

There is an extensive set of microfilm, now scanned, drawings of Brookwood (Peachtree) Station in Atlanta in the SRHA archives. All are partial views of the architect’s plans in the very detailed

Not everything in the Southern Railway Presidents’ files in the SRHA archives is “heavy” business correspondence, some is remarkably informal and even “chatty”. The personal correspondence

Thanks Bill and Bob. I just couldn't see that short car being used in a full-length passenger train with E units and 85' cars. A derailment waiting to happen. Scott Chatfield

Homemade heater car. Ran behind Atlantic & East Carolina’s F3 on passenger trains in the winter time, so I’ve been told. —Bill

Thanks. I bet those sales are why a lot of the photos of depots (from non-valuation sources) were dated in those time frames. Those photos may have been documentation of the status/condition before

In addition to removing many steam servicing facilities, the Southern dismantled or sold (to be removed from company property) many depots and section houses in the early 1950s. The attached form

I meant the SRHA should NOT try to reinvent the wheel. Dave Sunday, May 10, 2020, 11:06:20 PM, you wrote: George, On photos, there are examples: Bob's Photos charges $8-10 for a B/W 8x10. He has

George, On photos, there are examples: Bob's Photos charges $8-10 for a B/W 8x10. He has an extensive collection, but only prints and makes available a set total number at any one time. Only after

Ike and others, My view is fairly simple. There is no free lunch. The SRHA and/or the archives might be non-profit educational entities, but non-profit does not mean there is no budget or income

Hi All, I've discussed some of this with Jim Thurston before, here's my thoughts. Rather than some of the proposed by Bill and Matt, maybe more of a hybrid model of what they mentioned, I mentioned to

Here is a copy of the stencil diagram for one of the Southern's Southeastern Express, horse cars. It is © SRHA for personal use only. "Southeastern Express" was the Southern's version of what became

Matt and Ike: A few random thoughts, below. —Bill Rather than add it to the membership fee, I think it would be more productive - and avoid the risk of pricing our membership out of the range of
