[edit] Lords of Baux
Well done! That makes much more sense. In answer to your question, I have no useful source to recommend to you, unfortunately. I've been looking into 12th century Provence rather than 13th/14th Italy. If I see something I'll let you know. Andrew Dalby 13:22, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] UCIR
Thanks Choess, I am still not entirely sure what to do about the Union County Industrial Railroad article, but appreciate your sorting things out on the talk page. I had thought about moving the comment in the article to the talk page and then putting a section on track ownership in Union County much higher in the article - describe the track in the county first and then the current operation. I seem to recall reading somewhere that the UCIR has but one engine. The UCIR web page has more information on what is actually in operation than it did when I wrote the article (all the Robey RR pages are more informative now). On an almost unrelated side note, the PRR 1920s passenger cars are used on the Lycoming Valley, North Shore, and Shamokin Valley RR, so I will put it on the last two pages. Thanks again, Ruhrfisch 21:39, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
- I tried cleaning up the article (and got logged out, but it was me). I put the History section and an explanation on the Talk page. I tried to keep the same organization (I number the lines in the county and referred to them by the same number) throughout. I am doubtful as to the clarity or succes of my efforts, edit away as you are able and thanks again. Ruhrfisch 05:07, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Copyrights
Wow - that would be nice, but as with you I have doubts about getting easily a copy to scan. Another book that might be useful to scan and OCR is the 1975 Conrail Final System Plan. --NE2 06:58, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Vice Great Seneschal"
No, I haven't, and I'm extremely uneasy about us having an article saying one exists without any sources whatsoever. It would be a unique position, as far as I'm aware — no other Great Officers have the power to create hereditary offices, and the Steward of Ireland's hardly the most eminent of Great Officers — and so my instinct would say it's dodgy.

[edit] Northumberland
Hm, well that's certainly tricky. I'm reluctant without a good hunt around to give a certain answer. A quick google tells me nothing as it suggests everything from an Earldom for life, a new creation, the Dukedom but not the Earldom was attainted.
It seems illiogical to me that an accelerated title forfeited would not render the writ of a~ null. If the title was created with a special remainder the attainder would as a matter of law (De Donis Conditionalibus 1285) have no consequence on the person so mentioned.

[edit] Zoo Interlocking
Do you happen to have a diagram of Zoo with two tracks through the "New York-Pittsburgh Subway" duckunder? The 1971 one at [1] has the eastbound track removed, and it's obvious that the connection from the New York end of it to the West Philly Elevated Branch was redrawn. Thank you for any help in understanding the original configuration. --NE2 22:41, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
