In another on-line group Paul Dobbs' posting about the Railroad and Locomotive 
History Society's magazine, Railroad History led me to wonder if forum members 
are aware of another important publication of that society--an electronic, 
online copy of the new "Antebellum American Railroad 1830-1860 Compendium" by 
Thomas T, Taber III. This work is an encyclopedic compilation (760 pages in 
all) of all major published information about this earliest period of US 
railroad history, including references to key sources such as Von Gerstner, the 
American Railway Journal, etc. Organized by state and companies, it provides a 
wealth of detail not only about corporate history but engineering, equipment, 
timetables, and operation as well as featuring lots of drawings and photos 
obtained from the RLH archives and other collections, many of which have not 
been published elsewhere. Like the works of John H. White, Jr., this is a 
classic you will want for your own collection. See for yourself at:

http://rlhs.org/Reference/antebellum.shtml

The State of Missouri starts on page 346 and for me provides a unique insight 
into the locomotive equipment in use during the Civil War including a picture 
of the H&StJ "Missouri".
