[QUOTE="BRandM, post: 1852023, member: 22729"]Thanks Amanda. Like I said before I don't give up on these things because I enjoy the challenge. Loveless is out there someplace...just have to find him. About three weeks ago I ran into a history of sorts about the Railroad. I believe it was printed in the late 19th century but I don't remember offhand. In the back of the book it listed names of at least several hundred former and present...of that period...employees of the line.
