A suggestion for rail resources

From: "Esther Ward" est.ward@yahoo.com

... I wanted to write a quick thank you, and let you know that I've been referring to your page (at CPRR.org) in putting together an industrial history lesson plan. There are some wonderful resources there!

I also thought I'd pass along a page that one of my 7th graders brought to my attention that seems like it might be a good addition to your offerings. It's a resource guide on rail travel for the younger set. I found it pretty accessible. if you're interested, it's at travelproducts.com ...
