Love what you're doing! I should check if anyone has done anything like it for the Union Pacific... I've been looking for ancestors in Wyoming newspapers from the 1890s, and the fatality rate (and quantity of loss of limbs) among brakemen is impossible to miss. 😳

Thank you! Not surprised to hear that about US brakesmen, either 😔 Would love it if there were equivalents of what we're doing for other countries - none so far as we know ... yet! 🤞
