Need info on Texas and Oklahoma Shortlines or railroads that play a big role in these states.




P.S. Thank You.


Now that's a little more manageable request.. Go to http://www.aslrra.org the website of The American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association, click on "Who we serve", then on "Railroads", and you will get a U.S. map. Click on the states you want and you will get a list of the membership in those states, plus their websites, and most have one. They are linked, so you can go direct to each railroad's website from there.

That's a mighty general request bryan9664.. You're talking about several libraries full of information. Suggest you make your request a great deal more specific and ask on the "Trains" prototype forum.

There are also historical societies for many "fallen flag" railroads. There is an index of them on the Trains.com website. One of the joys of this hobby to many is ferreting out prototype information. Asking someone else to do it for you takes the fun out of it .[:p][:I][;)]
