Links I do not normally provide links to other sites. Maintaining links, adding and removing links, constantly checking to see if they are still good, takes too much time. There are many other railroad related pages on the web that have excellent link pages. However, the sites below have been very helpful in providing me with web space for this series and helping me produce it. As a common courtesy I provide the following links.
QStation
RailroadInfo.com
Mountain West RailLinks to railroad pictures of the Sheridan, WY area.
Bob Eisthen
Orvia, Kendrick, Verona are on the East Pool run that works out of Sheridan. Parkman and Pass Creek are on the West Pool run that I work out of Sheridan. I have worked both pools for many many years.
Note that the following two pages have a link on them that will download all of the large size photos at once into one page if you prefer that method.
Paul Birkholz
The first five pictures are on the East Pool run and the last four are on my current West Pool run.
