18877591Lakefield Ontario Canada: Grand Trunk Railway 1887-1897. First Edition. Hardcover. Oblong octavo 28 x 15 cm. Bound in three-quarters leather with marbled paper-covered boards. A printed paper title label reading "G. T. R. / Ticket Requisition Book" is affixed to the front board. The book consists of unnumbered leaves each perforated vertically to create a stub and a removable requisition form. The left-hand portion the stub which remained in the book is divided into five columns: To What Station Class Description Quantity Required Quantity Received. The right-hand portion which was detached and sent to the Audit Department is divided into seven columns for inventory and supply: To What Station Class Description Last Number Issued Last Progressive Number on Hand Tickets on Hand Quantity Supplied. Approximately three-quarters of the leaves have been used with the remaining quarter at the rear being clean and unused. Fair only though internally very good. Both front and rear boards are detached. The text-block however remains sound and tightly sewn. The three-quarters leather spine and corners are heavily worn rubbed and scuffed. The paper title label remains intact and legible. Internally the manuscript entries are clear and legible throughout with the final quarter of unused leaves are remaining remarkably clean and bright for their age. A complete and rich primary source document despite the binding flaws. ¶ A rare survival of the mundane yet essential paperwork which powered one of Canada's most important railway network vital for commerce tourism and settlement in the Kawartha Lakes region. The manuscript requisitions dating from January 20 1887 to April 5 1897 provide a remarkable ten year window into the station's activities. All are dated in manuscript with some requisitions marked "Nil" each tracking the regular flow of passengers along the line connecting the region to commercial centres such as Peterborough and Toronto etc. More significantly entries record period fares and charges for additional baggage among other details. A rare and highly ephemeral primary source for the history of the Kawartha region and to the railway line's role in connecting rural Canada. Grand Trunk Railway hardcover

Atlantic City Railroad DisasterBiblio.com

19 Cent. Atlantic City Railroad Disaster Archive of Large Mounted Photos of Wreckage and Clean-up ca. 1896

1896234211896. TransportationIndustrial Disasters Atlantic City railroad disaster photo archive likely documenting the July 30 1896 collision west of Atlantic City New Jersey one of the deadliest American railroad accidents of the 1890s. The wreck occurred when a West Jersey Railroad excursion train carrying members of the Improved Order of Red Men fraternal organization from Bridgeton and Salem crossed the Reading Railroad line and was struck by a Philadelphia express crushing loaded passenger coaches and leaving dozens dead and injured. The local Atlantic City photographer's stamp the beach and pier crowd the open rail junction the smashed wooden coachwork and the dense public gathering around the debris all support identification with the Atlantic City disaster rather than a more inland wreck. Photo archive of 4 albumen photographs each approx 7.5 x 8 inches mounted on boards measuring approximately 10 x 12 inches Atlantic City New Jersey likely 1896. At the wreck site men in suits caps work clothes and shirt sleeves stand among splintered timbers exposed wheel assemblies broken coach framing twisted metal and scattered railroad debris. A damaged passenger car remains partly upright with its roof torn open and side panels crushed while another wreck scene includes telegraph poles parallel tracks a railroad signal and a wide crowd gathered across the right of way. Workers and onlookers climb over the wreckage stand on overturned components and cluster around the remains of the coaches giving the scenes the character of both recovery work and public witnessing. The fourth view shows the community Atlantic City's shore economy with men women and children gathered along the beach and crowded across a pier many in formal summer dress hats and parasols. Verso stamp reads: "W. Crompton & Co. 132 N. South Carolina Ave. Atlantic City N.J. Duplicates can be furnished at Short Notice." By the 1890s Atlantic City had become a major East Coast resort town and railroad access was central to its growth; the same excursion system that filled its beaches also concentrated large numbers of passengers in wooden cars vulnerable to catastrophic collision. The presence of a local commercial photographer's stamp is significant indicating that these disaster scenes circulated as purchasable local views for an audience already accustomed to buying Atlantic City souvenirs. Mounts toned and soiled prints faded with some loss of contrast scattered surface wear and staining to mounts one with slight loss at upper right corner; overall in good condition. The archive preserves the immediate aftermath wreckage and response to a major Atlantic City disaster in the late 19th century. unknown

Maryland Steam Engines and Rail Operations 62 Sequentially Numbered Railroad Work Photographs Showing Hand Track Construction

1974234571974. Railroad preservation photo archive depicting hand track labor narrow gauge steam restoration and surviving nineteenth-century rail infrastructure during the 1970s heritage railroad movement when volunteer groups museums and tourist railways across the United States began rebuilding lines and preserving steam locomotives that had narrowly escaped scrapping after the end of commercial steam service. Denver & Rio Grande Western No. 346 a Baldwin-built 1881 narrow gauge locomotive identified by the Colorado Railroad Museum as the oldest operating steam locomotive in Colorado appears repeatedly alongside work crews and rail operations tied to preservation-era reconstruction. The archive also includes Sept. 1974 views connected to the Baltimore & Ohio station at Oakland Maryland an 1884 Queen Anne depot whose construction reflected the expansion of rail tourism and resort travel into Garrett County during the late nineteenth century. Rather than polished excursion scenes the photographs center the physical labor that kept historic rail systems functioning: men replacing ties lifting rails by hand aligning track repairing rolling stock and maintaining steam-era equipment decades after most American railroads had abandoned steam operations. Photo archive of 62 silver gelatin photographs each measuring 5 x 3.5 inches various locations including Black Hills Central Railway and Oakland Maryland circa 1974-1977. Young railroad workers pose beside maintenance vehicles stacked ties and narrow gauge track under reconstruction; several scenes show crews driving spikes leveling ballast and maneuvering rails with pry bars and jacks. Multiple photographs depict Denver & Rio Grande locomotive No. 346 under steam including repeated appearances of the same rail worker also shown beside locomotive "444 R-1" suggesting a connected work or preservation crew documented across several locations and projects. Additional views show passenger cars rail yards interior shop work line-side maintenance scenes depots and tourist railroad operations including Sept. 1974 Oakland B&O station material with historical text describing the depot's role in regional resort development and its Queen Anne architectural design by Baldwin & Pennington. Numerous prints carry small sequential numerical markings at the lower edge indicating at least part of the archive functioned as an organized visual work record rather than casual railfan photography. The photographs belong to the decade when hundreds of steam locomotives narrow gauge branch lines and nineteenth-century railroad structures were disappearing across the United States following dieselization and widespread railroad abandonment in the 1950s and 1960s. Black Hills Central crews rebuilt and maintained rail infrastructure only a few years after the devastating 1972 Black Hills flood damaged track and bridges near Keystone while preservation groups in Colorado worked to keep surviving narrow gauge steam equipment operational for museums and tourist railroads. Light wear scattered creasing and minor silvering to several prints; overall in very good condition. unknown

Erie Railroad Newburg Yard; Train DerailmentBiblio.com

Erie Railroad Newburg Yard Derailment Recovery Photo Archive with Named Crew Cleveland Ohio 1959

1959235191959. Erie Railroad accident recovery photo archive depicting a freight train derailment at Newburg Yard on August 10 1959 most likely in the Cleveland Ohio Newburg or Newburgh industrial district. Newburg was an old industrial section of southeast Cleveland tied to railroads steel works and freight switching with the former Atlantic & Great Western later Erie running through the area. The location identification is strengthened by the yard name Erie equipment industrial overpass setting and the known Cleveland use of Newburg or Newburgh in railroad and steel district geography. The wreck occurred one year before the Erie Railroad merged with the Delaware Lackawanna & Western Railroad in 1960 placing the scene near the end of the independent Erie era. Photo archive of 8 silver gelatin photographs approximately snapshot to small-format prints Newburg Yard August 10 1959. Freight cars sit overturned and jackknifed across multiple yard tracks with Pennsylvania and Erie-marked cars visible among the wreckage. A crane works beside the damaged cars while railroad men stand along the ballast on the embankment and under a bridge or overpass watching the clearance operation from trackside. Several views show the same derailment from elevated and ground-level positions including a crushed cab or caboose area tipped hopper cars tangled rails scattered debris and crews working near the crane boom. Verso captions repeat "Aug. 10-1959" "Newburg Yard" "Walczak Cond." "Lyons Bachman" and "Kompura" with faint "Kodak Velox Paper" stamps on the backs. Railroad yard accidents in the 1950s were handled before modern centralized emergency-management practice relying on railroad wreck crews cranes section men conductors brakemen and yard personnel to reopen tracks quickly so freight could move. The repeated captions naming the conductor brakemen and additional crew members give the group stronger labor value than an anonymous wreck scene tying the damaged rolling stock to the men responsible for the train and its aftermath. Light curling handling wear minor creasing and light verso soiling; overall in good condition. The archive preserves a dated Erie Railroad freight accident with named crew visible wreck-clearance work and a probable Cleveland Ohio Newburg Yard setting. unknown

'Rogers Locomotive and Machine Works Paterson New Jersey.' Large Albumen photograph on printed card of a St. Paul Minneapolis & Manitoba Railway Company Engine

188724219Paterson NJ 1887. Photography. An imposing photograph of a Mogul Locomotive made by the Rogers Locomotive Company laid onto a printed broadside. The photograph measures 28 3/4 x 13" the broadside 32 x 18". Rogers Locomotive was an important New Jersey maker of railroad steam locomotives founded in 1832 whose most famous engine was "The General". This locomotive was built in 1855 and was one of the principals of the "Great Locomotive Chase" an April 1862 military raid in Georgia in which Union volunteers commandeered "The General" and used it to damage the vital rail line between Atlanta and Chattanooga. Below the image at the left is "J. Reid Photographist". John Reid 1835 - 1911 was a noted local photographer who specialized in stereoscopic views and large format outdoor photography especially pictures of locomotives. Reid was commissioned by Rogers to produce images of trains for promotional purposes. He used Scovill's view boxes made by the American Optical Company with Morrison wide aperture lenses and Scovill's pearl paper for printing. Reid printed his own pictures and relied on his own emulsion a superior one which wasn't subject to the rapid deterioration common in photographs of the time. Reid exhibited at Philadelphia's Centennial Exhibition in 1876 and received medals at the Paris Exposition 1878 and Chicago's Columbian Exhibition 1893. The broadside can be dated 1887 because Reuben Wells was appointed shop superintendent in that year; his name is stamped below the other printed printed names below the image which read "J. S. Rogers Pres. Reuben Wells Supt. and R. S. Hughes Treasurer 44 Exchange Place New York". The locomotive in the albumen photograph is marked "St. P. M. & M." and is numbered 324. This was the St. Paul Minneapolis & Manitoba Railway Company which was organized in 1879. Small paper fault at the lower center otherwise very good condition. unknown
