They are back online. Try
http://gowest.coalliance.org/indexes/Railroad.htm
This is the link showing you the files they are working on now. As
you can see, this is a HUGE amount of stuff, many thousands of photos
yet to come. If you scroll down to the bottom, you will get
the "search" link for what is available online now. Searching on
CB&Q returned over 1300 photos. You can view them online at 5"x7" or
buy a larger high res image. If you go into the library itself, you
can look at these on their 20 inch monitors and blow them up as big
as you like. Great if you are trying to count how many rivets there
were around the door handle of an E8, or something. Note that if you
search for "Burlington" you might end up getting more stuff about
Burlington, Colorado than the railroad.
