Nate,
I understand your desire for a site to catalog data and posts, but I would not diminish the benefit of the "OS" posts. Keep in mind that for the vast majority of the readers of this board, simply FINDING a B&LE train can be a very difficult process, especially for newer fans who are still trying to learn the ropes. Even as someone who has been around for a long time, I find these posts helpful, and insightful to the daily goings on of the railroad. Ultimately, one of the best ways to cultivate continued interest in the railroad by people is to make it easier for folks to see it in action, and record the operations of the railroad either on video, jpegs, or film for posterity. I'd humbly suggest that these OS posts that you seem so quick to dismiss are just as important to preserving the history of the line as the various anecdotes and data that appear to hold more of your interest.
