@scott: Yes, I'm interested in both. They kind of go hand in hand to a degree. And yes, I'm familiar with the Delaware, Lakawana & Western Railroad. Their primary cargo was coal, supplying many other railroads. The transition to the diesel era was their primary undoing & they merged with The Erie in 1960, to form the Erie & Lakawana, one of the most popular lines with model railroaders. Eventually they were absorbed by Conrail in the mid 1970's.
There's railroad history all over this country. The railroads were, in large part, responsible for the expansion & building of it.
