    I am looking for any information I can attain about the CN&W's Cowboy line.
    Mainly things like depots, pictures as well as elevation drawings. Maps with mileposts bridges etc.

    I know there is some video footage out there. A fellow I knew had a VHS, possibly two. One might have been home made. It showed a few old depots And some really wobbly track.

    Rick Mills published a book about 15 years ago.

    As for video, C. Vision Productions made a final trip tape back in the 90s, think its out on DVD now.

    That sounds like one of the videos I was trying to recall. The other was from some years beforehand, when track, etc, was in better shape.

    I will look into the C Vision videos! I know there is a CNW #3 depot out there, are there any laser cut #2 or #1's I think a standard #2 is like Sturgis along the colony line. #1 is like the 2 story in Chadron...? Have plans for a std #2 in an old CNWHS fron the 70's, but I don't want to mess with the fargile binding... we will have to see about getting this scaned.:tb-confused:

    I think it was CTC Board/Railroads Illustrated whatever they're called now had an article on it in the last year, year and a half.
