The website is far more useful because it's searchable.</p><p><br /></p><p>Take a look and see what you think:</p><p><a href="http://www.coxrail.com/database/private.asp" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coxrail.com/database/private.asp" rel="nofollow">http://www.coxrail.com/database/private.asp</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
