Steve,

I don't believe the one folio binder I recall in Ringoes was for 565. I actually never heard of a set of prints for 565. I can ask my family, but I doubt any of my uncles would recall any 565 drawings.

This past weekend I did happen to be back in Hunterdon County, and did stop by in Flemington to talk to the crew on 60 (they were running cornmaze/pumpkin patch push pull trains between Flemington Sta. and Toad Lane with 60 and LV 112). They haven't digitized the drawing record...

I am hoping to at least see if I can get a copy of the Card Record for 60 to see if it's possible that these 4 drawings missing for Coos Bay #11 might be had.

I spent a LOT of time with these drawings, putting them back into order... this was back in about 1992 or 1993 or so. Things have changed a LOT in ringoes though... the enginehouse, office, and the whole west side of the yard is now leased out to a 3rd party and is a transload operation... and I don't know the players there. I didn't want to go and walk in like I owned the joint... regardless of the volume of blood sweat and tears personally had on the property there during my formative railroader years. That's life.
