Re: Diesle Service Facility Where is the Western Historical Manuscript Collection located at? Best Regards, Rodger McKinney
Rodger: Western Historical Manuscript Collection is located at University of Missouri Rolla in my home town.(Wilson Library ) 3rd floor.Here is the link http://web.umr.edu/~whmcinfo/ steve-- NOTE: Link is now: http://web.mst.edu/~whmcinfo/
WHMC also has branches in KC, St. Louis and Columbia where some material is stored. The KC branch has much material on the Northeast Oklahoma RR acquired by the Frisco. The Rolla picture holdings are very small and you would be well advised to contact Mark Stauter at WHMC, Rolla before you visit. Tomd6
The university has yet another name change, which impacted the web domain name. Here's the new link: http://web.mst.edu/~whmcinfo/ I still prefer Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy.
YES, the Green Plague is very evident. YUK However, I like the prototype Kadee uncoupling ramp leading to track #3.
Ah, but there is still one o/w unit there in the pics to add some dignity to the place. Neat pic of the three fuel tanks sitting in the yard. Why-o-why did the BN/BNSF have to tear this place down? Ken
