Thanks
I'm working toward getting ready to gather some groups of volunteers who will be doing the research/learning/teaching stuff for each topic. I don't want to look dumb and am having a really hard time coming up with anything that will give me a fairly clear guess as to whether any of the trains went through my county. I don't even need to know if they stopped..just whether they passed through on one of our three tracks.

I know they were just regular trains and not a special brand-name, but I also know there's a possibility that the folks running different placement programs could have been given a special rate from one line or another..or they may have avoided one for some reason.

I just want to have enough information to know whether the topic is included in the Project or not.

Thanks,
M
