Notice to all SN On-line readers: I am no longer adding new articles of my own to this web site. I have run out of ideas, or the necessary photos to support good stories. Since recently being burned twice on eBay, I will no longer be acquiring new negatives from there. I am now heavily involved in medieval re-enactments, including teaching archery to children, and that has become far more interesting than trains, at least for the time being.
SN On-line is by no means closed. It will continue to be updated from time, and some of the existing stories will be improved with larger photos. I still welcome stories from readers, especially if accompanied by photos (and maps, where needed). Even if you lack photos, I may be able to find something we can use in my collection. I will be pleased to work with you to edit your stories and put them into proper format for display on this site.

I regret that spambot harvesting forced me to remove the direct e-mail link and deformat the address. Sorry, but you will have to enter the address manually and change "at" to "@".
