I'm on the board of directors for the Thunderbolt Ski Museum in Adams MA. and were looking for information and material on the Sk trains that the Boston and Albany ran up the North Adams branch in the 30's and 40's. The museum is looking for old photographs,posters,timetables etc.
If anyone has this information or can steer our group in that direction it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Scott Koczela

I have some items stored away. I'll try and find them within a few days. If you can find a copy of Robert Richardson's "Chasing Trains", he was on assignment in the area and rode one to North Adams. There's a photo of it too. Richardson passed away a few years ago and was the driving force behind the Colorado Railroad Museum.
