A good source of pictures of trains of the west is the American Heritage Museum at the University of Wyoming in Laramie. They have a very extensive collection and are open to the public. Their web site is at www.uwyo.edu/ahc. It's worth a vacation trip just to see their collections, but you might try to contact them first to see if they have coverage of the Billings area. <br /> <br />You might also check out http://www.billingsgazette.com/index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/12/30/build/state/70-railroad.inc. They are starting a new railroad museum in Great Falls and have an extensive collection of books. <br /> <br />The Billings and Paradise is a model layout that covers Montana areas. The web site is at http://www.billingsandparadise.com/index.html. There is an email address to get information. Looks like whoever built the layout did a lot of research and might have some ideas to help you. <br /> <br />A couple of RR history sites for Montana are at http://www.mtnwestrail.com/wmnrhs/ and http://www.gnrhs.org/. People in those organizations might also be of help.
