midwest coverage. Well worth checking out. [Site appears to be down. - Jay 11/2002]

Dan Dawdy was one of the first
railfans to organize an index of web
pointers to railroad content. He has helped a number of
organizations,
including the American Association of Railroads and the
National Model
Railroad Association get onto the web as well. This is one
of the best sites
for finding railroad information on the web. It includes
feature articles
with pictures on a regular basis. [mcs.net has disappeared - Jay 11/2002]

This site attempts to listthe web sites of all railroad
historical and
technical societies, as well as restoration projects and
museums. The
coverage of the latter is slight at this time, though.

museums & museum ships; shipmodels; shipbuilding and
