DS-8-142 C&O Officers, Agents and Stations No. 82 (1948)

$15.95

C&O Officers, Agents and Stations No. 82 (1948)

C&O began issuing small pocket-sized booklets that listed all the stations on the line and named the agents for those stations that were manned, gave telegraph call letters, mileposts and distances, and named the officers and surgeons of the company. These served as a standard manual for reference by almost any railway employee anywhere on the system. Initially, they were issued more than once per year, then every year, and in the 19308-508 era several years apart. By then they listed locomotives, passenger and freight cars, junctions, coaling and water station locations and capacities, turntables and lengths, Wye tracks, and many other useful facts. No. 82 was the largest because the former Pere Marquette lines had just been incorporated into it. Its alphabetic list of stations cross-referenced to Sub-division and page on which it appears was useful in quickly finding a location on the system. The next was No. 83, issued in July 1957, and it was the last. This reprint has been enlarged by 12 % to allow for better readability of the small type.
