David Pfieffer is also available by email:

Pfeiffer, David
E-mail Address(es):
  david.pfeiffer_@_arch2.nara.gov

but if you are going to contact him this way, you probably should have a
very good idea of what you're after.

Of course, that's true anyway, I suppose, but Mr Pfeiffer must get a ton of
email and regular mail, and concise request are a lot more likely to get
dealt with than "get me everything" types of questions.  Email also lets you
file your request, and allows Mr Pfieffer address it when it's convenient
for him, as opposed to trying to catch him on the phone between meetings.

The ICC records are at the National Archives facility in College Park,
Maryland.  The guy in charge of the material there is David Pfieffer.  It
is best to give him a call and tell him what you are looking for and then
plan a visit to the facility.  You can bring in a camera or scanning
equipment.  I was able to scan photos from 1918 of every station on the
Lehigh & Hudson River.

I also wanted to look at some abandonment proceedings.  However, these are
very spotty.  For example, the files for the abandonment of the NYS&W's
Hanford Branch is there but the abandonment of the entire Lehigh & New
England was tossed sometime before 1980!
