I am currently working on a book detailing the history of the Columbia, Newberry and Laurens railroad which the ACL purchased in 1926. I am looking for any history, pictures, artifacts, or any other materials to include in this book. Thanks, Thomas

I have a small collection of CN&L items including, for instance, photos, timetables, train orders, tickets, historical information, and annual passes. My nine-page article about the CN&L was published in the National Railway Bulletin, Volume 55, Number 1, 1990 (April). If you'd like to see any of this material and/or talk with me, I'll be glad to hear from you.
