Here's a resource you might find useful in learning about your favorite "1:1 Scale" railroad:The Center for Railroad Photography & Art preserves North America's Railroad Heritage through publications, conferences, an awards program, and now by digitizing, describing and archiving railroad images online, using a descriptive system (Dublin Core) devised by librarians for photographs and art. The goal of this collection is to build a repository that is national in scope and representative of the history and culture of railroading in the context of American history, railroad technology, and art.
