    Colorado Springs, Colorado, July 31, 1901. To the Happy Successors of the People of the Twentieth Century, Greeting: In the upbuilding of an empire, certain essentials are so necessary, success would be impossible without them. Among these essentials, transportation facilities stand first. The people of Colorado, during the years 1867 and 1868 when the plans of the Union Pacific Company were developing, knew this and they watched the progress of events closely. When it was decided to construct the Great Trans-Continental Line by way of Cheyenne leaving Colorado to the south without connection with the outside world, despair took possession of all classes. In time, however, the bolder spirits recovered their courage and an earnest effort was made to protect the interests of the people of the Territory. The organization of the Denver Pacific Railway and Telegraph Company followed a period of earnest agitation and discussion. The officers of this Company were John Evans, President; John Pierce, Vice President; R.R. McCormic, Sect'y.; D.H. Moffit, Jr., Treasurer; and Col. L.H. Eicholtz, Chief Engineer. These gentlemen promptly undertook the construction of a line from Denver to Cheyenne to connect with the Union Pacific and from Denver east to meet the Kansas Pacific line that was being extended westward. As a result of their efforts the Denver Pacific was completed between Cheyenne and Denver June 24th, 1870. The Kansas Pacific was completed on August 15th, 1870 by laying ten and a quarter miles of track in ten hours; five and an eighth miles being laid by each of two forces, one working eastward and one westward.

    A Guide to the John W. Barriger III Papers in the John W. Barriger III National Railroad Library A Special Collection of the St. Louis Mercantile Library at the University of Missouri St. Louis This project was made possible by a generous grant From the National Historical Publications and Record Commission an agency of the National Archives and Records Administration and by the support of the St. Louis Mercantile Library at the University of Missouri St. Louis © 1997 The St. Louis Mercantile Library Association i Preface and Acknowledgements This finding aid represents the fruition of years of effort in arranging and describing the papers of John W. Barriger III, one of this century’s most distinguished railroad executives. It will serve the needs of scholars for many years to come, guiding them through an extraordinary body of papers documenting the world of railroading in the first two-thirds of this century across all of North America. In every endeavor, there are individuals for whom the scope of their involvement and the depth of their participation makes them a unique participant in events of historical importance. Such was the case with John Walker Barriger III (1899-1976), whose many significant roles in the American railroad industry over almost a half century from the 1920s into the 1970s not only made him one of this century’s most important railroad executives, but which also permitted him to participate in and witness at close hand the enormous changes which took place in railroading over the course of his career. For many men, simply to participate in the decisions and events such as were part of John Barriger’s life would have been enough.

  • Key Lock & Lantern News
    KEY LOCK & LANTERN July 2012 NEWS Issue No.15 Fifty Years of Steam Excursions on the Arcade & Attica In the early summer of 1962, the sound of a steam whistle echoed across the valley near the rural western New York village of Arcade. Steam locomotives had been retired for well over a decade on most railroads, but the puffs of smoke rising over the cornfields revealed that it was in fact a steam engine undergoing testing on the Arcade & Attica Railroad. The 1950’s had been a difficult decade for the A&A. During the first quarter of 1951, the small shortline only carried eight passengers in its mixed train service, and LCL business was in decline. Little argument was needed in order to convince the Public Service Commission to authorize the railroad to discontinue its passenger and express service. In 1957, a large washout severed the line’s connection with the Erie RR at Attica, along with its switching contract for Attica Prison. Former Boyne City RR No. 18, a 1920 Alco product, has been pulling Arcade & Attica excursions since 1962. disposed of in 1948, after the line purchased its second GE 44-tonner (making the A&A one of the first railroads in the country to completely dieselize).

Miners depended on farmers to supply them with food. Storekeepers provided miners with tools, candles, clothing, and other implements necessary to the tasks of mining. Ultimately, though, miners depended upon the men running transportation services to take ore to smelters and bring back mining supplies. The most important transportation service was the railroad.

    FOM1 Art 2 Appendices Appendix A - Prior Service and Red Cap Service Development and Adjudication A1. Prior Service Defined Prior service under the Railroad Retirement Act (RRA) means service performed before 1-1-37. Service performed before 1937 may be credited only if, on 8-29-35, the employee met the conditions for an Employment Relation (ER) described in Appendix C of this chapter. A2. Red Cap Service Defined A person who rendered service as a redcap or other station attendant before 9-1941, and whose duties consisted of carrying hand baggage and assisting passengers’ stations, received credit for all such verified service even though he received no remuneration from an employer for such service. a. 1937 Railroad Retirement Act Under the 1937 Railroad Retirement Act, redcap months prior to 9-1941 were treated as prior service months and the redcap compensation was included in the prior service average. b. Under the 1974 Railroad Retirement Act The 1974 Railroad Retirement Act changed the usage of redcap service and compensation after 12-1936 and before 9-1941; these months were then used as subsequent service. However, the amount of the average redcap compensation for those months was still determined as in 1937 Act cases. A3. Maximum Number of Prior Service or Red Cap Months a. General - The number of months of prior service or red cap service that may be included in an employee's years of service is the difference between 360 and the number of months of creditable service after 1936. The prior service or red cap service months are counted in reverse order beginning with 12-1936 depending upon availability of service records and verification of service.
