You have a great hobby. Anyone who has not visited "Vintage Snaps" at http://vintagephotosandcards.blogspot.com/ is missing a treat!<br />As to Ogden - I found him fascinating. I'm pre-ordering the new book on him this week for my 'fall reading'.Mike Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07272554710959757226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-509936580124509957.post-42823878185973858622009-06-16T23:03:19.580-07:002009-06-16T23:03:19.580-07:00Very interesting Mike, especially the part of his ...Very interesting Mike, especially the part of his life involving development of the railroad. Not really a railroad buff ( too many interests already) but they do have a certain appeal and were certainly vital in the development of our country. If you remember I had a pic of the Aurora Geneva RR or Trolley system which I wonder if hooked up with Elgin eventually. There is a "Trolley Musuem" in South Elgin which I think still has a short run between there and Geneva or Batavia. Thanks again.davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07637251295499362036noreply@blogger.com
