  • NJDARM: Collection Guide
    NJDARM: Collection Guide - NEW JERSEY STATE ARCHIVES COLLECTION GUIDE Record Group: State Board of Taxes and Assessment Series: Railroad Basement Structure Detail Plans, 1912-1939 Accession #: 1993.029 Series #: SZTAX001 Guide Date: 8/1993 (JK) Volume: 4 c.f. [326 maps] Structure Index Content Note This series contains photostatic reproductions of architectural plans from New Jersey railroad companies showing basement structure details (e.g., for bridges, stations, signal towers, etc.). The set was apparently maintained by the State Board of Taxes and Assessment; however, it is not known what specific use the plans had or how they relate to other railroad records kept by the board and its successors. While the series documents structures as far south as Cape May County, most of the drawings relate to structures along railroad lines in the northeastern portion of New Jersey. With the exception of (loose) 1912 drawings of Pennsylvania Railroad's Summit Avenue Passenger Station in Jersey City, the collection dates from the period 1921-1939. The basement structure detail plans were originally kept in two oversized volumes: Book No. 1, containing plans #2000-[#2134]; and Book No. 2, containing plans #3000-#3190. For ease of use and for preservation purposes, the two volumes were disbound and the plans filed in map folders. The majority of the items are positive photostats measuring roughly 16"x25". Structure Index This index provides basic identification of each structure, the initial month and year found on the related plans, and the corresponding plan numbers. Under each railroad, structures are grouped by division and branch whenever this information is included on the plans.

Hanna 1 Icon: USA by Roussy lucas from the Noun Project The Rich History of Nationalization in the United States Climate change is an unprecedented global social, political, and economic crisis. Without drastic action, the United States will likely experience rising sea levels that will regularly flood major cities, more intense weather patterns that will destroy homes and businesses, longer and deeper droughts that will dis- rupt agricultural production, and an increase in disease that will put stress on the healthcare system. Domestic and international climate refugees will have to be resettled and the effects of increasing global strife contained. In both human and economic terms, the costs will be unlike anything the country has previously faced. Moreover, the economy is facing a significant problem of stranded assets—specifically fossil fuel reserves and infrastructure, the full value of which simply cannot be realized if the world is to avoid the most catastrophic ef- “ 1 The United States has a fects of global warming. long and rich tradition of nationalizing private In order to navigate these intersecting ecological and enterprise, especially economic crises within the necessary (and shorten- during times of economic and social crisis. ing) time frames, we will likely need to take over and decommission the large fossil fuel extraction corpora- ” tions that are both one of the leading causes of climate change and one of the primary institutional impediments to addressing it.

  • DEC 0 1 2003 Termination of Coverage
    B.C.D. 08-45.29 EMPLOYER STATUS DETERMINATION DEC 0 1 2003 Termination of Coverage This is the determination of the Railroad Retirement Board concerning the continued coverage as employers under the Railroad Retirement Act (45 U.S.C. § 231 et seq.) (RRA) and the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act (45 U.S.C. § 351 et seq.) (RULA) of 45 covered entities. The Board’s Audit and Compliance Section has identified these 45 employers which were never assigned a BA number. These entities were formerly operated by a covered rail carrier employer or formerly provided creditable service to a covered employer. In each case, the railroad operator or service recipient no longer operates and has been terminated as a covered employer. Since the operating/service recipient companies have ceased railroad or rail related operations and, in many instances, have ceased to exist, and no railroad or rail related operation is conducted by or on behalf of any of these 45 entities, their employer status is terminated as explained in more detail below. Union Lumber Company Service for Union Lumber Company was credited to the California Western Railroad and Navigation Company (BA Number 2703), which was a covered employer from June 30, 1905 to January 1, 1948, when its name was changed to California Western Railroad. California Western Railroad retained BA Number 2703 and was a covered employer until it ceased operations June 30, 1976. The Board’s records indicate that the service of train and engine crews engaged in the operation of the logging railroad of Union Lumber Company was creditable as service to the California Western Railroad & Navigation Company from December 1, 1917.
