Greetings,
I am doing some research on a town in Indiana named French Lick. It was a popular resort town in the early 20th century because of its medicinal waters and gambling. Two railroad met at this site, the Monon and the Southern. I have exhausted all of the usual research locations, (local historical society, library etc...) and am now looking for anyone who might have served on that branch line that might be willing to be interview about their experiences on that line. Please feel free to contact me directly.

Thank You,
Rick Olsen

Isn't there a tourist railroad there today. Seems I remember they used to have a steam engine that ran to a tunnel. Anyway, contact someone from that railroad, and they could probably help a whole bunch with history.

That would be the Indiana Railway Museum in French Lick. See link below for more info.
