Re: ICC Valuation Study Material
Are these useful? Oh yes! I copied Val 27 a and b documents from NARA in College Park, MD in 2000 and they have been very useful. There are survey notebooks with photos, dimensional drawings, maps

While researching the Southern diesel book, I found a reference to the Ingalls locomotive. I will dig though what I've accumulated and see if I can find that reference.
