Hi all. I would like to know if anyone here has some links to pics of the different snow sheds and rock sheds that have been built? Any version would do especially the modern day ones or any that are still in use today. Thank you.
Tiking,
Welcome to the MR Forums !
To get you started, while you’re waiting for other responses, I used a keyword search at the Index of Magazines function at the top of this page:
http://index.mrmag.com/tm.exe?opt=S&cmdtext=snow+shed&MAG=ANY
As you’ll see, it only cited two articles, both of them in 1971 issues of the NMRA Bulletin. I suggest you contact the NMRA’s Kalmbach Memorial Library:
http://www.nmra.org/library/
and request photocopies of both articles. The fee is reasonable, even if you’re not a member. I would also suggest that you look for books on the railroads that used a lot of snow sheds and see if there are photos in those books. Good luck.
Bob
P.S. Ah, the vagaries of cataloguers, search engines and search terms. Here’s a link to another search, using snowshed as the search term:
http://index.mrmag.com/tm.exe?opt=S&cmdtext=snowshed&MAG=ANY
It turned up another 19 article citations.
