thanks for the info, it was driving me crazy, never thought of the Mississippi part, my gg-grandfather and his brother came down from Canada to Indiana and worked the railroad to earn money, not sure which one yet. My grandfather and several of his brothers worked for B & O for years. Thanks for the answer.
