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

130267Very Good. Two albumen paper photographs each 280 × 372 mm on the original card mounts each approximately 405 × 485 mm. Mounts uniformly tanned and lightly marked; trifling surface loss to silverfish to one plate confined mainly to the blank upper portion where it is inconspicuous; tiny blemishes near the top corners of the second plate; overall in excellent condition. The first image shows 665 'Lord of the Isles' a Problem class or Lady of the Lake class passenger locomotive. Clearly visible on the wheel arch is its build date 'Jany 1863'. 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.
