DS-04-280 System Time Freight Train Book No. 15 Effective March 15, 1955

$8.95

System Time Freight Train Book No. 15 Effective March 15, 1955

C&O, like many major railroads issued booklets that outlined the scheme of operation for its fleet of fast freight trains. Until the issuance of this book in March 1955 C&O issued two different books, one for train operating in Michigan and Ontario on the former Pere Marquette lines, and one for the rest of the C&O system. Starting with this book (No. 15), the entire system’s trains are integrated into one operation, reflecting a change from” One Railroad, two districts” theory that was in play after the Pere Marquette merger in 1947, to a more integrated operational system, the book makes no differentiation between the two areas of the C&O.
