Yesterday I visited the San Dimas museum and the good folks of the Pacific Railroad Society. MR71, this IS the location for research on the LA 2nd division (Pasadena sub) SF line. It is a shrine to railroading in the area from the Pacific Electric days to the present. I was overwhelmed with the information available in their library, as I'll need several trips to consume all of the information (they have all the books mentioned above). It is staffed by PRS volunteers who were very eager to help in my search. Met one guy who was Rain man-like in his abilities to recall SF road numbers, loco model numbers and stats, and history of the 2nd division line. Best part was when the local freight train came by, everyone stopped what they were doing to watch it pass. The museum/library is only open Wed & Sat, and can get quite busy on the weekend. I was so impressed with the group that I joined the society right there on the spot. Check it out: [url]http://www.pacificrailroadsociety.org/index.html[/url]
