Looking for anyone with old Railroad Gazettes

[wcfn100]

Would anyone here have any old Rail Road Gazettes?  It looking for some info from volume XXXVII no. 11.  I think it's from 1904, but I'm not sure.

I contacted the NMRA, but I though I'd ask here as well.

Thanks,

Jason

I looked at the google books and can't come up with vol 37 #11.

Hopefully I'll here back from the NMRA, I thought I'd take a shot in the dark here.

Thanks,

Looks like Kalmbach is going to come through on this.

Sept. 2 1904 edition has a a small article on the Waterloo freight house including some drawings.  This should be interesting.

To follow up this thread.  The NMRA Kalmbach library come through big on my request for copies of a 1904 Railroad Gazette.

It about a two page article on the CGW freight depot in Waterloo.  I won't bore you with the details but one bit of information that was interesting is that the floors were built water tight with a 2" rise to the middle and gutters on the outside walls to keep any flooding from reaching lower levels.

That is good news. I know that the NMRA has its critics so it is great that they were able to help. What was the procedure for requesting this info?

Best wishes, Dave

Don't forget their digitizing a lot of that archive right now so you may (if you're a member) be able to browse for the information you need there. They still have a lot of work to do, but they are adding items daily,

The Railway Age is available for Vol 38 Jul Dec 1904.   For reasons only known to computer geeks, the GoogleBooks come and go and do not have an index, sorted by volume/date, for any series.... they come up random in "magic internet" format.....or not at all.
If you find a volume you might want later, download it as you don't know if it will be there the next time.
I save mine in this sort of format which allows sorting by title, volume and date
