Railway Documents still available?

Ivan Smith had this on his web site:

Would anyone know about this and whether this is still a happening thing? If not, who got these documents and can we get a crack at the D.A.R. parts of it?

There is an email address on that ad. Try contacting the seller and see what happens.

If I am not mistaken, this collection was the subject of a report on CBC Halifax Radio Noon broadcast. If you review the Subdivision names, these are all CNR trackage. Apparently CNR Atlantic HQ in Moncton were "cleaning house". The one reference to a DAR community, Middleton, would be the former Nova Scotia Central Railway Subdivision. I believe Terry Hyson at the Memory Lane Museum, Middleton said that WAR/DAR and NSCR shared the 1889-1915 Middleton station. As Middleton was both a DAR and CNR town, Memory Lane has some CNR items.
