@harmonyards, Pat, that is usually the best way to go. Give them honey instead of vinegar and you should get far. They'd have to have something, that's for sure. If this were some random store promotion I could see there being little information about the place. We're talking about a huge unveiling, like the World's Fair size(sort of). They'd have to have some archived information. The only other place which is needle in the haystack would be the Library of Congress. You can find out a great deal there, but you really have to know what you are looking for and be able to narrow the field. I can't remember exactly what it was on a railroad search, but it was in relation to my paternal grandfather's travels out west when he worked on the pipelines. I only managed to get something I think around St Louis and I don't think all of it was exactly what I was looking for. It was very interesting however. I just wish I would have saved the information I got. I had messaged my sister some maps of the area, that was about it.
