Grandpa built the relica of UPRR Locomotive #119

From: "Dale Johnson" dalerjohnson@cox.net, dale@bejconsultinggroup.com

My grand father, Charles D. Russell, worked for the UP for some 40 years. He started as a boiler maker back in the early 1900's. He was asked to come and help build the replica of #119. I was wondering if you may have a roster of volunteers that worked on the building of [the replica of UPRR locomotive] #119.

Thank you for any help or direction you can point me to.
