As described earlier, the best method for this is to emulate what the 
SLHS has done - bring in volunteers who can aid in the research and 
physical effort required.  As the last few times anything like this 
has been discussed have been greeted with nothing but yawns (if that) 
I don't see it happening.   The Burlington is one of many roads, 
there are millions of drawings to conserve, index and review.  There 
is no incentive to put CB&Q drawings and/or information in front of 
any other effort.   Sounds tacky, but that is (literally) the bottom line.
