1850235001850. Slavery & Abolition Underground Railroad Fugitive Slave Signed letter mentioning threats of arson against an abolitionist community in Pennsylvania 1850. Lancaster stood on a volatile antislavery route in 1850 with fugitives moving west toward Columbia and the Susquehanna River while pro slavery men targeted communities accused of sheltering escapees. Mary Louisa Harbaugh the young wife of Rev. Henry Harbaugh of the German Reformed Church wrote to her mother that "a party of fellows from Phil. came up here and threatened to burn this place down" and that residents had kept watch after "a great many alarms of fire." Lancaster was the home of Thaddeus Stevens the lawyer and future Radical Republican congressman who defended fugitives and attacked slavery in public life. Columbia eleven miles west had a large free Black population and served as a crossing point for people escaping slavery before and after the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. <br /> <br /> Harbaugh M. L. Autograph Letter Signed. Lancaster Pennsylvania June 15 1850. Three manuscript pages plus stampless address leaf addressed to her mother Mrs. Margaret A. Linn Lewisburg Pennsylvania. Harbaugh reports household matters children's clothing local health and the arson threat in one domestic letter writing that the city was "very healthy" except for "a few old people" before describing the men from Philadelphia who threatened to burn Lancaster. The address leaf preserves the Lewisburg destination manuscript postal markings and remains of the original red wax seal. The part concerning the arsonists reads as follows:<br /> <br /> "Dear Mother .This place is very healthy now. I know of no disease or sickness at all except among a few old people. We had a great many alarms of fire a few days ago a party of fellows from Phil. came up here and threatened to burn this place down but they were discovered too soon. They have had a watch out since and nothing is heard of them now. The place is not large enough for such persons to do any injury to it."<br /> <br /> Mary Louisa Harbaugh's husband Rev. Henry Harbaugh was a prominent German Reformed minister and writer who avoided public antislavery controversy while her family in Lewisburg was connected to abolitionist politics through her father's break with the Democratic Party for James G. Birney's Free Soil candidacy. Local newspapers such as the June 19 1850 issue of The Lancaster Examiner and Herald reportedly attributed the fire as "no doubt the work of incendiaries as two men were seen running from the Cooper Shop just as the alarm was given" in which they made their escape. It was reported that a young black man by the name of "Gilmore" was arrested and imprisoned on suspicion but was released the next day for insufficient evidence. Other newspapers reportedly minimized the incident without attribution to racial tension all while Columbia suffered a fire that destroyed nine houses and the offices of the Columbia Spy. Folded as mailed with light toning minor edge wear one small seal tear and clean legible manuscript throughout. Overall very good condition. unknown

Only a handful of copies located by OCLC. and no copies have appeared at auction according to RBH.The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway is the first and foremost instance of a mountain passenger railway. Opened in 1881 it introduced bold and imaginative engineering approaches to the challenge of rail links on a hilly terrain of excellent beauty this is the first guide book to this fabled railway.The settlement at Darjeeling really began in 1828 with British interest. By 1835 it was separated from Sikkim for establishing a Sanatorium for the invalid servants of the East India Company. It then consisted of a monastery on observatory hill clustered with about 20 huts and a population of about 100 people. Planning began in 1839 to lay out the Darjeeling town and construct a hill road connecting Siliguri Pankhabari Kurseong and Darjeeling. At the same time evolution of hotels began the first being The Darjeeling Family Hotel’s followed by other hotels. By 1840 Darjeeling town had about 30 buildings and a few respectable houses.I n the year 1878 Franklin Prestage Agent of the Eastern Bengal Railway foresaw the utility of a rail link between the hills of Darjeeling and the plains. His scheme was mainly driven by hard economic considerations viz. the huge difference in the cost of essential commodities between Darjeeling and Siliguri the need to carry out tea for export and the inability of the existing road to handle the growing traffic. He submitted a scheme for the construction of a two feet gauge railway line from Siliguri to Darjeeling.In a detailed scheme submitted to the Government of Bengal and approved by the Lt. Governor Sir Ashley Eden he pointed out how a railway could substantially reduce the cost of transport between Darjeeling and the plains. Rice which sold at 98 a ton at Siliguri Cost 238 at Darjeeling! He was also convinced that the cost of construction of the 2 feet gauge rail-line would not be prohibitive and locomotives small but powerful enough to climb steep gradients could be designed Prestage received final sanction for his project on April 8 1879 and formed the Darjeeling Steam Tramway Co. However the idea of operating the line as a steam tramway was soon abandoned and on September 15 1881 the company adopted the designation of Darjeeling Himalayan Railway Co. DHR which remained effective until it was taken over by the Government of free India on October 20 1948. Throughout that period Gillanders Artbuthnot & Co. one of the oldest managing houses in Calcutta handled its financial legal and purchasing interests.abaa-ny-2022 McCorquodale & Co., Limited hardcover

190942908Albany NY: State of New York 1909. First edition. Very good clean copy with long tear repaired on th verso and tiny chips at one fold on map inch tear to fore edge of certificate and along bottom margin. Ink on drafting vellum with colored outlines. 15 x 24 inches. Docket sheet mounted to verso. In 1874 the Hudson Tunnel Railroad Company soon named the Hudson River Railway Company was formed to construct tunnels between Jersey City and Greenwich Village the route originally to be about two miles commencing at a point under the Hudson River in the westerly boundaryline of the state of New York opposite the foot of Clarkson street at the termination of the Hudson Tunnel Railroad Company of New Jersey and thence running by a feasible route under the bed of the river and beneath the surface of the city of New York to a point at or near the westerly side of Broadway between Prince and Eighth streets; from whence the line proceeds via Sixth avenue to Thirty-third street New York but stopped construction well before completion. The assets land partially-constructed tunnels trackage etc. were eventually sold to the newly-organized New York & Jersey Railroad incorporated on February 12 1902 under the leadership of William G. McAdoo who was later U.S. Treasury Secretary and which then became the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad 1906. The original of this profile was drafted in 1891 before the railroad collapsed and the present certified copy was prepared by the Secretary of State's office on February 25 1909 almost exactly one year after the official opening of the tunnel the Pennsylvania Railroad's North River Tunnels the second to burrow under the Hudson did not open until late 1910. The reason that a copy of the map was requested is not known but what is known is that the railroad was seeking to extend the Sixth Avenue line later as well as other related projects. Perhaps the map was needed to settle some land issue or in some legal negotiations as the pencilled word "referee" appears after two sets of initials. The tunnels still carry a heavy load of PATH train commuters between Jersey City and Manhattan. Similar maps are difficult to locate. The closest a printed "Map of Hudson & Manhattan Railroad Hudson tunnel system January 1908" is located at the University of Chicago and the Jersey City Historical Society.

1936List3240United States 1936. Forty-two letters with several miscellaneous documents circulars stock offerings etc. Conditions vary with some items worn and quite fragile; most excellent. The Chicago Burlington and Quincy Railroad CB&Q was formed in 1855 by a consolidation of several other western railroad companies. The company and its subsidiaries known for their sleek diesel Zephyr trains operated extensively throughout the midwest west and Texas throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Today its former passenger operation has been assumed by Amtrak and its freight operation continues as the BNSF Railway. The Burlington Cedar Rapids and Northern Railway BCR&N operated between 1876 and 1903 and was succeeded by the Rock Island Line.<br /> <br /> Offered here is a small collection of letters and documents pertaining to the relatively early days of the CB&Q and BCR&N alongside later correspondence from an Iowan who was writing a history of Iowa railroads.<br /> <br /> Earlier letters include discussions of plans for the extension of the CB&Q lines; for instance railroad official O.W. Palmer writes:<br /> <br /> “The other day at the meeting I gave Mr. McClure some changes to Leavenworth – Since that time I have gone into the question a little more thoroughly and find that to be consistent we would have to reduce a great many points in Western Iowa where there is no competition whatever no need of a reduction – I have therefore concluded not to make any changes except where we have to meet some other fellows rate.†August 7 1894<br /> <br /> On the reverse of this letter and one other is an attractive map of the many CB&Q lines between Chicago and Denver/Cheyenne. <br /> <br /> Also from around this time are several letters from William W. Baldwin discussing railroad business in both an official and unofficial capacity with BCR&N President Charles J. Ives. In 1895 Baldwin tells Ives about a scalping scheme on the BCR&N for which several conductors are fired April 20 and in 1896 about a silver-backing newspaperman:<br /> <br /> “A fellow named Hyskel has persuaded certain silver idiots here to loan him $200 or $300 with which he has started a morning daily called the “Burlington Democratâ€. It is a violent vindictive anarchistic silver sheet and Hyskel himself a thorough crook of the bigoted sort although personally decent and mild enough. Has your company given them transportation They will be after it hot foot. Our folks here have refused him – saying he will have to get it under a regular advertising contract. These are to be made January 1st. If you can put him off until then I think the paper will die before January. They own no press nor any property – are simply trying to bull it through past the election. It is easy enough to put them off there are plenty of good reasons why it ought to be done. There is not a meaner silver organ in the state. It was started as a silver venture purely. I suppose Tracy will get them B.CR. N. transportation if he can. He is the same variety. It is such examples that make the situation so full of menace danger to all business.†October 19<br /> <br /> “Tracy†is Samuel K. Tracy then Solicitor general for the BCR&N the son of Judge Joshua Tracy who was president of the line until his death in 1884.<br /> <br /> Later correspondence is mainly between Baldwin and Albert N. Harbert of Iowa; Harbert was writing a history of Iowa railroads and Baldwin had apparently written a number of pieces on the topic the collection includes a mimeographed bibliography of his works. Harbert had a particular interest in the china dinnerware used on the lines.<br /> <br /> Of interest to historians of western railroads around the turn of the century. unknown

The second image shows 2146 a DX Goods class locomotive. Both locomotives are shown in 'photographic grey' livery without tender and it is likely that these are official photographs for London and North Western Railway or the Crewe Works. <p>Both models were designed by John Ramsbottom and entered service in the late 1850s. However these examples are fitted with cabs suggesting that the photographs were taken after the appointment of his successor Francis Webb in 1871.
