[PRCo] Re: Various Press Articles Pertaining to the Railways

[Fred Schneider]

Barry:

A complete file of these in the PTM library would be useful.   However, since they have been blocked to prevent anyone from printing them, each one would have to be transcribed the hard way ... every single letter would have to be typed again.   

Have you considered doing that?   Or is it something someone else (moi?) should undertake?
