Thanks, everyone.
There's a lot of cleanup work to do on the data associated with all the images (and there are drawings in there, too). Sometime later this fall we will begin hosting a series of "archive parties" via Zoom, where we will be going through all 16,000+ items in the archive and correcting (and adding to) data. I'm going to try to post those sessions here for anyone interested in joining the fun; you don't have to be a member of the Nickel Plate Road Historical and Technical Society (NKPHTS) to join in.
We'll probably start this process with geographic sets of stuff, with cities in Ohio first. Once we've done all the geographic sets, we'll go back and check on other groupings (like engine classes).
I do hope that any of you interested in the NKP who are not already members of the NKPHTS will consider joining the Society. We publish a pretty darn nice magazine four times a year - full color, 32 pages, with tons of information about the NKP and its connecting roads. The cost is $45 per year, which is just a bit more than one decent freight car in HO or N scale these days. And three times a year we do a e-zine on modeling the NKP (the NKPHTS Modeler's Notebook). And every month there is a newsletter that goes out to members with short articles on some historical aspect of the NKP - the latest was on how mail operations were done out of Cleveland.
In case you're interested, here's a link to where you can download a full past copy of a past NKPHTS Magazine (Fall 2015):
