Narrows Branch

[NW Mailing List]

Papa Abram, Gary, et al: can I be forgiven for pointing out how great the
Arrow is, and the amazing amount of information available in the Society
archives, this group's archives and the Virginian GroupIO message archives,
Files, and Photos.  Yes, there's a bit of a learning curve for efficient
searching, and it's a bit different in all four of the sources I just
mentioned. (and in several other Railroad Historical Societies, No Names
Please; most of you know of whom I speak). Be patient.  It's a lot of fun
and a lot of learning.  Just beware of falling down rabbit holes; trust me
on that.
