Mouse and Dog,I have been soaking in this <a href="http://kc.pennsyrr.com/docs/index.html">http://kc.pennsyrr.com/docs/index.html</a> and reading the PDF's related to stations, towers and sidings on the PRR.I am wondering is this material availible for the B&O railroad in a similar form that is easy to understand? I think if I could locate operations papers as used by the B&O similar to what is presented in the PDF's for the PRR the missing peices of the puzzle will fall into place... maybe.I do have an ulterior motive for posting this here as I am trying to reconcile some of the traffic on my railroad that does fall within the dominant reach of both the B&O and PRR. The engine tonnage ratings and assignments over specific areas certainly raises some new questions.For example Baltimore area the M1a is rated for about 5000 tons give or take a little bit but you wont see any I-1sa 2-10-0's on the PRR south of Harrisburg however the Western Maryland has some of these brutes in thier Riverside Yard on websites that have photos.One must not get too deep into the morass of unanswered questions.I have been quietly following the saga of the Indiana town.. is it possible that this is a small flag stop with hardly no service except a interchange and a depot?By the way alot of towns are shells of thier former glory. I recall many small towns up in the west or north of the USA that were once very living and thriving towns but now rate hardly a stop light and a few intersections with boarded up stores hinting at commerce long gone.The Rodnet gun is a interesting tidbit. Imagine the blast zone forward of the muzzle. Flash/burn suits anyone?
