Russ & Gerald
Russ - Thanks for the link to the Museum
Gerald - Thanks for the explanation of railway unions, etc. I'm seen those
terms used in these messages and made a few assumptions, so it is very
useful to get a more accurate picture.
I'll pass on both to Chuck Spinner. If anyone has any other information
about African American railway employee or ex-employee associations, I'd be
very grateful to hear from you.
Regards
Rupert
