Paul:
 
I don't know if this will help, particularly for eastern railroads and
mundane facilities, but I completed a study of a railroad shoofly siding
and construction camp associated with the construction of the SP,LA&SL
(Salt Lake Route) Railroad, ca. 1904.  The report is entitled "26CK4842:
The Archaeology of an SP,LA&SL Railroad Construction Camp in Southern
Nevada," HRC Report 5-164-5/BLM Report 5-2354(P).  This summer we will
also be doing mitigation of 8 construction/entrepreneurial camps, also
associated with this same railroad.  The report/s will be or are
available to you or list members at reproduction costs by contacting
Susan Murphy at 702-895-1411.  Good luck.....ww
