FYI. Received this great e-mail from the Texas Trarnsportation Archive.
We'll be adding a link to their site on the BRHS website. Enjoy.

Subject: Texas Transportation Archive - link request & genealogy note

> Hello -
>
> I noticed your site had some Texas interest in the way of the Burlington,
which we had down here in the subsidiary Fort Worth & Denver and the Quanah,
Acme & Pacific railroads.
>
> I was also noticing that you were attempting to put some genealogy
information on there, at least referring folks to places they could get to
some regarding the Burlington & its subsidiary companies.
>
> I'm with the Texas Transportation Archive, and we maintain a special
genealogy section for just Texas railroad employees. We have some Quanah,
Acme & Pacific coverage, but are working on a large list of Fort Worth &
Denver / Burlington employees based on several historic city directories for
Amarillo and Wichita Falls, from the 1920's - 1950's. We are also looking
around for some seniority rosters that will yield more names. With what we
have in hand, we have several hundred names, with occupations, and years
worked.
>
> Would you mind checking out our site and see if it's anything you might
want to add a link to, either for your genealogy page, or your general links
page?
>
> We have added a link to your site for our Data Index page, so people can
get to info on the Burlington - you have a fine site there and I know it
will be helpful to many families and whatnot doing research on their older
railroad worker members.
>
> I have taken the liberty of writing a brief description of our site at the
bottom of this note, if you want to include a link on yours.
>
> Thanks very much - y'all have a good out there. Keep up the good work.
