Michael: Yes! We expect to post details on the convention activities as they are finalized. Registration will most likely be done using the TVRM system that’s in place now, with links from the L&NHS

What divisions did Southern Railway operate up until 1982? I had a list of Divisions here somewhere and I can't find them. I need someone to remind me of what there was before NS. Thanks...

When will convention information be listed on SRHA website, So members can sign up to attend?-- Michael Shirey Southern Railway Historical Association Member #9748 and Modeler of the Modern DT&I and

Curt: The New Car Program (NCP) file for these cars is probably in the archives. If someone will remember, we can look to find delivery dates, etc. at next week’s archives work session. Here is a

Still searching... Hi all, When Southern repainted their E-8's for "Southern Crescent" service in the early 1970's does anyone know if that color was the same as the Green they were delivered in? I

Andy: I don’t think we have ever scanned any of the cipher books in the archives. They were changed periodically and we have several. The use of ciphers seems to have dropped off when telegrams

Ike, very interesting letter. Thanks for sending it. Do you have their cipher book? It would have likely been largely phrases, company names, placenames, management names, etc. encoded in some sort

Although very little coal has been mined along the CNO&TP and H&NE for years, the early 1900s Southern Railway Presidents’ file include multiple files on new discoveries, possible new rail lines, SR

A minor factoid about Southern diagram books. Although we have steam loco diagram books going back to before the SR itself, the railroad apparently did not produce freight car books until some time in

All: Great stuff...good questions! The revised version of the 40' box car book is far along! With so much going on at the archives, TRVM and even a little bit of SR modeling, dedicating time to it has

I agree with Brother Wells, I'm interested in 1950's and back. A book of diagrams dealing with cars of the steam/transition era would be of interest to me. Of course, we are probably in the same

An earlier version of the diagram book would interest me if by earlier you mean older cars. SU boxcars both 36 and 40 ft versions, wood cabooses, stock cars, vent cars and many older cars. Having said

Is the 40' boxcar book still coming? Curt Fortenberry

And …. getting to more prototypical draft gear on models is a great concept! (Is a 2-56 screw really needed for HO couplers?) Going back to the photo of Southern 115757. That group of Southern cars

This document is available here: http://southern.railfan.net/paper/sr_paper.html It's listed as October 1979 but it's actually 1975. Tim Rumph Lancaster, SC

I've got a pdf copy of the October 1, 1975, Car Assignment Book that I downloaded (from somewhere ...). It's a wonderful resource. Tim

As far as I have ever seen or heard of, the Southern applied ice breaking fixtures to the roofs of some GP30's and SD24's for a few years. Apparently, that didn't last long before these fixtures were

I have seen actual car, and pictures of the Clinchfield version of what you were talking about. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a picture of one off the Southern. I’d be interested in seeing
