Hol,

Reminds me of my experience with the University of MD at College Park library some 45 years ago.  The card catalog (yes-CARD in that era) indicated they had a copy of Corbin & Kerka's "Steam Locomotives of the Burlington Route".  I searched-they searched. After many searches over a considerable period of time they admitted they didn't have it and/or couldn't find it, or it had been stolen.  But, NO, they wouldn't take it out of the card catalog.  Go Figure!

Charlie:

And the most frustrating thing to me remains the fact that the Colorado Historical Society, now calling itself History Colorado, has the microfilms in its possession but cannot find them.

Fellow Railroad Researchers-

Thank you for all the responses to my plea....but so far nobody has come up
with any strategy that I haven't tried, retried, and attacked with every
permutation of search terms that I could think of.....

Recently I have used Google Scholar and several other academic research
search engines.   I have come up with a number of interesting articles but
none of them lead to the (((#$&(@ online catalog listing that I cannot find.
I have come back to the original article in the Colorado History magazine
and review thereof in American Archivist and several other references but
not the microfilms themselves.

I have tried direct frontal attacks on likely university and other
institution online catalogs but so far nothing is popping up that resembles
the link I lost.   Sigh.....

Thank you,
Charlie Vlk
