Will that work? The site mentions that it's not indexed by search machines. So I guess it has a robots.txt (on my phone and did not check...) Would the archive respect that?

My province has the ultimate fallen flag the entire railroad system here was dismantled in the mid 1980s. At the time I never knew of its history or my family history with it until my Dad gave me a metal box. In it were old family documents, pictures, mementos mostly from my great-grandfather. He worked on the railroad but I had never know about it I barely even knew his father my grandfather. Even more historically…
Is "fallen flag" a phrase I should recognize? I realize the site is probably not for me, but I would have appreciated a paragraph explaining what is being presented here
I was confused too. I found this: > The term "Fallen Flags" describes those railroads whose corporate names have been dissolved through merger, bankruptcy, or liquidation. At one time the United States boasted nearly 140 Class I's. https://www.american-rails.com/fallen-flags.html OK great, but what's a "Class I"? > In the United States, railroads are designated as Class I, Class II, or Class III, according to size cr…

Amtrak still exists, though, maybe since it's a different logo?

Something about that photo (aliasing? cleanliness of the sticker?) makes it look photoshopped, but it actually does have that sticker: https://youtu.be/9eOYUYSXzi8?t=56
I dont know what to do with them per se... I bought the collection at an estate sale, but I have some famous pieces. I just love trains.

Is this Nova Scotia? I ask because I've often wondered over Stan Rogers' song "Guysborough Train" which seems to be about a planned but never completed railroad line.
I believe your interpretation is the generally accepted one. Stan was from Guysborough and as I understand it, the rail line was started, quite a lot of progress made, and then never finished so there was a lot of displeasure from the locals at the constant reminders of the failure of the government to make good on their promise to deliver the railroad.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

"Southern Pacific Railroad (SP): The SP was a prominent railroad company that operated in the western United States from 1865 to 1998."
It's actually 1996, not 1998. I checked multiple sources.
