<div dir="ltr">Papa Abram, Gary, et al: can I be forgiven for pointing out how great the Arrow is, and the amazing amount of information available in the Society archives, this group's archives and the Virginian GroupIO message archives, Files, and Photos. Yes, there's a bit of a learning curve for efficient searching, and it's a bit different in all four of the sources I just mentioned. (and in several other Railroad Historical Societies, No Names Please; most of you know of whom I speak). Be patient. It's a lot of fun and a lot of learning. Just beware of falling down rabbit holes; trust me on that.<div><br></div><div>Frank Bongiovanni</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Dec 20, 2024 at 3:43 PM NW Mailing List via NW-Mailing-List <<a href="mailto:nw-mailing-list@nwhs.org">nw-mailing-list@nwhs.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Abe, <br>
You must have “turniped yer nose” at the excellent article on the Narrows Branch that was published in the NWHS Arrow last year. <br>
