Yes indeed!! Railway Negative Exchange (REX), also referred to as RNE was run by Warren Miller who lived in Moraga, CA.
Born in Oakland, CA--(1923) Warren was this nation's foremost authority on Western railroads and devoted virtually his entire life to assembling more than a quarter of a million negatives, most in glass plates, as well as over 200,000 photographs.

Upon Warren's death (1989), his collection was left to his nephew, Bob Hall. Bob has continued his uncle's devotion to the railroad photographic hobby. If you are interested in a particular photo or are conducting research for a project, contact "Bob Hall" at the "Railway Negative Exchange"-- 1496- Los Rios Drive, San Jose, CA 95120..
"Warren" will smile down at you if you do !!

(Note: Bob's address was what I listed, as of 1996)
