I found an article printed in March 1983,Corn Hill Gazette(Rochester,NY, neighborhood adjacent to the Erie depot)about a find of Erie documents located in the Smithsonian collections. The writer,Ray Nau,claims to have visited there in Feb.83 and found "15,000 ink on linen drawings and 100,000 other sheets" plus "working drawings" for depots on the Roch branch,Salamanca roundhouse and many detailed drawings of the Portageville bridge,pre-fire and proposed replacements .The writer also spoke of documents from "about a dozen" pre-Conrail lines . He also mentions the Society for Industrial Archealogy (SIAN). I tried searching for SIAN with no results. Has anyone heard of this organization ?? Has the ELHS or members ever looked into the collection at the Smithsonian?? ford __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
