Subject: (LVRR) Looking for Infor on LVRR Operations in 1940's thru 1960's

Hey everyone,

I'm thinking about modeling the LV, in n-scale, from the tunnel north of 
Penn Junction to the tunnel at west portal and possibly including the 
ashland branch, maybe the E&N branch as well. My goal is to run some of 
the heavy coal & ore drags to beth steel and eastward in addition to 
regular frieght & passenger service.

I'm looking to gather information about LV operations from 1940's 
through the 1960's - I have some first gen diesels (PA's, FA's, etc), 
but i would love to run steam at somepoint. I've read and re-read the 
information at http://www.lvrrmodeler.net/ and also archer & bednar's 
books , however most of that information pertains to the years right 
before the LVRR's demise. What i'm looking for are some 
schedules/timetables, and also carloads per year for industries & 
interchanges, plus info about how the various interchanges worked (mt 
carmel, catasaqua, allentown, easton, etc).

Thanks
~Mike
