Even better, if there is a historical society or a Yahoo group for the railroad that your question is about, you might get answers there.
-----------------------------------------------------
Be careful there too..A lot of BS was put forth by railroaders just to satisfy what the person wanted to hear or just give a quick answer and by a alleged "authority" on (say) the Hooten Hollow & Western that its hard to get the facts-even well meaning answers may come from a book written by a supposed rail historian that didn't do any real research..
We have that problem here in Bucyrus by a authority/expert on the local rail scene.Very basic research has found this man lacking knowledge..
