1960174179Amman: "Cooperative Society Press for the Jordanian Ministry of Transport" 1960. Rare operational guide for the Hejaz Jordan Railway First edition of this manual of regulations for railway workers comprising numerous technical terms and train-driving and handling instructions and procedures. We have traced no other copies. After the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire in 1922 the famous Hejaz Railway which connected Istanbul to Mecca via Damascus and Amman was split into branches one being the narrow-gauge Hejaz-Jordan Railway HJR from Jaber al-Sirhan to al-Mudawwara. This was the main passenger-carrying railway in Jordan. In 1960 the year of publication "talks between Syria Jordan and Saudi Arabia about rebuilding the railway began in 1948 but it was not until 1960 that a contract was drawn up with an unlikely consortium of Arabian Japanese and Spanish companies. This was cancelled in 1962" Lambert p. 91. This manual which replaced the instructions of 1934 was issued by the Jordanian Ministry of Transport and it is signed off by Abd al-Karim al-Aqla Director General of the Jordanian Hejaz Railway. Copies were to be distributed "to each competent employee". It includes guidance on conditions of service shift work official clothing and badges distribution of bulletins operational instructions and much more. In addition to the names of several kinds of trains and manual signals to be used at day or night in different situations examples include "don't open the doors of the carriages when the train is moving" nor let passengers on or off outside stations; "fire extinguishers"; "types of traffic lights" illustrated with diagrams; and "sirens" long and short and what specific numbers of repetitions mean. Some final sections address specific issues such as if a train or carriage is suddenly out of control the duties of the train conductor and those of workers using push-trolleys. The later note in German on the flyleaf says that the book was to be used by the Aqaba Railway Corporation ARC the organisation running the freight Aqaba Railway line from 1979 to 2018.

1854List1708Philadelphia 1854. Ninth plate ambrotypes in a union case measuring 2 ½ x 2 ⅛ inches visible in larger case. With the identification of Isaac Rehn with his imprint and “Patented July 4 & 11 1854†imprinted on the case. A fine pair. A striking pair of ambrotypes of Mary and Moses Pennock who were members of the Kennett Square Underground Railroad network as well as active members of the Kennett Square abolitionist and Quaker community. Moses was one of the founders of the Longwood Progressive Meeting. In R.C. Smedley’s History of the Underground Railroad in Chester and Neighboring Counties of Pennsylvania Lancaster Office of the Journal 1883 the Pennocks are mentioned on p. 301 as working as part of the network surrounding Isaac and Thamazine Meredity. Their son Samuel who would go on to secure important agricultural patents is also mentioned twice. <br /> <br /> The images are notable from a photographic history perspective as well as being early examples of the ambrotype process that had been patented in part by fellow Quaker and spiritualist Isaac Rehn. Rehn held a partial patent on ambrotypes along with James Ambrose Cutting of Boston and became unpopular among other photographers for his efforts to extend his patent. He later practiced spiritual photography and was a Professor of Chemistry at Pennsylvania Medical University in Philadelphia. Rehn was also involved in radical politics as a founder and leader of the Philadelphia section of the International Workingmen’s Association which was later disenfranchised by Karl Marx along with several other American sections. Examples of Rehn’s work are held at the National Gallery of Art the Library Company of Philadelphia and Yale’s Sterling Memorial Library. <br /> <br /> Overall a very fine and significant pair of images. unknown

Of particular note was Master Mechanic George S. Griggs 1905-1970 who was hired in 1834 at age twenty-nine to organize the department and improve the early engines built in the Roxbury shops. As Charles E. Fisher details "Perhaps the highest compliment that can be paid him was that his work on the locomotive was closely followed by the Taunton Locomotive Works and Hinkley & Drury. Mr. Griggs continued to build inside connected locomotives long after the other roads had discarded them and they were a common sight on this road as late as the seventies."</p> <br /> <br /> <p>Given the date of the Old Colony's acquisition of the Boston & Providence these photos may relate to the takeover.</p> <br /> <br /> <p>A valuable record of the Boston & Providence fleet of locomotives.</p> <br /> <br /> <p>REFERENCES: Fisher Chas.

1868WRCAM33573AWashington: Government Printing Office 1868. 39pp. plus large color folding map 23 1/4 x 44 3/4 inches. Original printed wrappers. Presentation inscription on front wrapper see below. Wrapper edges chipped minor soiling and tanning to wrappers spine partially chipped old vertical fold to pamphlet. Light foxing and tanning and occasional soiling throughout Map with a few small closed tears at cross-folds with no loss. About very good. This copy is inscribed on the front wrapper: "With Regards of James Tilton C.E." Tilton 1819-78 was then chief engineer of the Washington Division of the Northern Pacific Railroad. Thanks in part to his support for Franklin Pierce's presidential campaign Tilton was appointed the first Surveyor General of Washington Territory and served from 1853-61. Both the Tilton River and Fort Tilton near Fall City Washington are named for him. <br> <br> An important report to Congress by the Northern Pacific Railroad headed by Minnesota railroad magnate James J. Hill for federal aid to support the Railroad's expansion to the West Coast. The petition reviews the railroad's original charter printing with it a memorial from the NPRR's Board of Directors and supporting communications from military figures including Montgomery Meigs and Ulysses S. Grant. Since the early 1850s Edwin Johnson described by Wheat as a "visionary" engineer had been associated with the plan to build a railroad across the northern part of the United States from the Great Lakes to the Pacific Coast. In 1867 he was named chief engineer of the Northern Pacific and this memorial is a work of major importance for the history of the railroad. It includes Johnson's topographical survey of the route to the Pacific a discussion of potential problems that may be encountered and a detailed economic and military survey of the area in justification of construction. <br> <br> The exceptional large folding "Map of the Country from Lake Superior to the Pacific Ocean from the Latest Explorations and Surveys" was produced by the Colton firm in New York. One of the finest maps of the region to date it shows the area from Detroit to the Pacific well into Canada and south to about the 39th parallel. Johnson has drawn the route of the Northern Pacific from Lake Superior to Washington Territory where the line splits with one branch heading toward Fort Vancouver and the other to Puget Sound. Among the details shown on the map are the Pony Express route wagon routes and overland mail routes exploration routes and other proposed railroad routes the locations of Indian tribes mineral deposits military forts and much more. Wheat gives a long description of the map and remarks that "the detail of such a map defies cataloging." Construction on the Northern Pacific Railroad began in 1870 and was completed in 1883. Edwin Johnson did not see its completion dying in 1872. An edition of this report with the supporting documents and map was also privately published in Hartford. <br> <br> A significant early account of railroad expansion in the Northwest. We could find only ten copies listed in OCLC and this is the first copy we have seen in wrappers and with a presentation from an important engineer on the project. RAILWAY ECONOMICS pp.242-43.

1906List3021La Habana Province Republic of Cuba 1906. Twenty-two photographs measuring 7 ¼ x 9 ½ inches mounted on heavy cardstock measuring 10 x 12 inches. Photos numbered and dated on negative. In album embossed with “Havana Central Railroad Co./ Progress Photographs/ GUANAJAYâ€. Photos with fine contrast and some wear; mounts with minor damage slightly warped with some detached from binding. Overall excellent. Havana Central Railroad Company was an American company formed in April 1905. It opened two electric tram lines—Havana to Guanajay in 1906 and Havana to Güines in 1907—before it was bought by the English company United Railways following the Panic of 1907. Offered here is a photo album showing the construction of the Guanajay line. The photographs show laborers assisted by horse-drawn carts digging culverts laying tracks and erecting bridges and buildings.<br /> <br /> This project came on the heels of the successful efforts of the Cuba Company another railroad company to make the emerging Cuban Republic amenable to American business.They did so first by using ‘revocable permits’ which could ostensibly be revoked by the new government when it was formed to circumvent the Foraker Amendment prohibiting concessions to American companies by the US’s military government; and second by using their close relationships to several members of the Cuban Constitutional Convention to include a law allowing irrevocable permits.1 These along with the Platt Amendment and Governor Leonard Wood’s General Railway Law led to what would amount to domination by US interests in Cuba particularly but not exclusively in the railroad industry.2<br /> <br /> Of interest to scholars of the early Republic of Cuba especially the history of US businesses in the country.<br /> <br /> 1 Juan C.
