Reeder Shelow and I reviewed the trackmap in his basement. It resembled an old scroll and had to be continuously unrolled and rewound. I appreciate his help and kindess in sharing these records. We talked about his railroad career while struggling to keep the paper aligned. When finished, it felt like we had crawled from Addieville, IL to the Wabash River.
