Thanks Bob..the Manitoba aspect is very helpful, because the son in whom I am most interested later lived at Brandon MB....the URLs at the end of my messages are my own; links to my books and my NS Railway Hall of Fame website, and to the NS Railway Heritage Society site, I am currently the president.
