Does anyone have some reference to reading up on CE Pond? I have a pretty good article from Trains magazine (Feb '84 me thinks) that was written by him with a brief biography from David P Morgan (who wants a cab ride?) But I would like to find out some more about this man and others like Frank Noel.
