"Remember the red ball point pens for time tickets?” Oh, do we remember those red ball point pens! The ones that would leak in your shirt pocket. The story of those pens and their history is a

Unaware of any. CEA

Carl are any of the conductor's books available on line? I am really interested in any from the AGS since I lived along the AGS in Collinsville, AL.

Hello, list. Thank you for all the information and the forms. On MidSouth and KCS we had a wheel report, just like an NS consist now, but from the caboose up. It's funny how different railroads call

I have something that although it says Train Book on the cover, is actually a Train Order Book covering orders issued on the Charleston Division between July 7-14, 1947. At that time, dispatching

Attached are both blank and filled in versions from Conductor HF Snow circa 1934. It was an official form 714, but was apparently called a Train Book. However, needs must, and Conductor Snow also

I hired out on the AGS in 1978 and we never saw a wheel report. All we had was a stack of waybills and a block consist. Hand written switch lists on the locals. Local conductors had to fill out

It's been almost 50 years, so some details might be wrong, but here is what I remember from "sitting in" at Andrews Yard (Columbia SC) in 1972. Computers were just beginning to be used, and only

On SOU conductors used a book issued by company to record their wheel reports. We have many copies of these books, with entries, from the ‘50’s in the archives. CEA

Hello Jason and list. This is an explanation of a wheel report from the GNHS: Before computers a wheel report was simply a high-class train list. It was a compendium of all cars handled by a

Could you share with us all and Tom explain how they work? Jason Greene

Hello, Warren. Yes, that is exactly the form I'm looking for. A TA&G form would be fine, and I sure would appreciate it. Regards, Tom Holley

Tom, You know I am an airline employee and I have a very basic understanding of railroading. So I have two questions. Firstly is this a standard form that is used to hand write or to type in the cars

Hello, list. Does anyone here have a blank wheel report that you could scan and email to me? Regards, Tom Holley th498@...

Here are 2 grainy shots from the late Howard Ameling’s collection showing 3659 in a freight consist in 1973. Maybe it was being forwarded to a new assignment or was being returned “somewhere”

I hope we can schedule an archives work session (open to vaccinated people) for the third weekend in June (Fri-Sat, 6-17/18) . We’ll post information here and on the SRHA.net home page. I expect we

That is a good piece of information. I wonder if the 3659 has the original number stamped somewhere on the car? Jack

The 3659 appears in the March 1971 Register as a Southern car, but is not shown in the March 1969 Register. Bob Grabarek

I think it is a case of a car being retired, but not scrapped, and then brought back with a new car number in the excursion fleet. My March 1965 Official Register of Passenger Train Equipment shows no

I don't believe it was remembered. It is possible it was not being used in excursion service by that time, and in fact might have already been on loan to TVRM. Sent from AT&T Yahoo Mail on Android
