According to some internet sources it was auctioned off in 2013 – there is a page claiming to own his NYC photo negatives.
On the other hand his obit in TRAINS MAGAZINE says this –
Throughout these decades, Vollrath amassed a collection of some 50,000 negatives, about 8,000 of which were his own work. He made and sold 8×10-inch prints — which appeared widely in books and magazines — until failing health began to curtail his activities in 2012. His grandson, David Hertenstein, has taken over the print-selling business, and the family intends to keep the negative collection intact.
Then there is this website selling the Volrath APP which I did not download, so I can not search it at this time.
FYI – we do have a few Volrath prints in the MPHS archives, but would love scans of other images.
