Re: Freight Conductors' Train Book available online

Larry,
Thanks for posting this. Making this sort of information available is wonderful, and very useful! The Amarillo Railroad Museum has done a similar thing with timebooks from Mr. Bill Stephens who worked for the Santa Fe from the 1950s through the 1980s. Bill loaned us his timebooks. I scanned them and also put all the information into Excel speadsheets and pdf files on our website. _www.amaraillorailmusuem.com_ (http://www.amaraillorailmusuem.com) . Interesting trips from Amarillo to Clovis and/or Canadian, and on the branches. Also a nice glimpse of the end of steam in Amarillo and diesels from first to third generation. I wish more of this sort of information was available. Of course conductors' wheel reports, such as yours, are of more interest to this list, but they are so scarce, I think timebooks help also. I', waiting for someone to complete my "railroad data" life and offer an MP timebook or wheel report from the Southern Illinois coal fields in the 1950s! Jerry Michels
