NYC History for NYCSHS web site

I have a volunteer for the Big Four and for the Hudson Division... would anyone else like to step forward and help contribute to a certain line or lines? Your contributions will be noted, and in the end, the entire project will be dontate to the NYCSHS to be included in their web site.

Feel free to contact me, I could use the help!

Here are the lines to be covered/documented... http://www.tsny.com/otto/nycrr/nyc_system.html

I was going to say: Don't forget the Adirondack Division but I see it now mentioned in a recent post. The referenced website gives a very good history of the division. I'll be glad to work on Adirondack Division info. If the breadth and depth of info on this other site is adequate, a little editing may be all that is necessary. Do we need to worry about using other people's stuff? Property rights, etc. ???

I'm not copying-and-pasting material since for the most part, many of these overviews have way too much detail and information. Much editing is needed. If you would like to contribute regarding the Adirondack Division, I would appreciate it- contact me off line.
