The Telegraph Calls of the New York Central Lines

Morse Telegraph Club Station Calls 540 – NEW YORK CENTRAL SYSTEM – 540 Source: "Telegraph Calls of the New York Central Lines," Gordon M. Meints, compilor (Kalamazoo, Mich: Michigan Classic Railroad Reprints, 1980). Meint's work is a 36 page, two-column, single spaced softback. In the introduction, Meints mentions that his work is "arranged by operating divisions of the NYC and its leased lines as they existed around 1940." But his only reference to his sources is the statement that the work was "compiled from New York Central publications and employee timetables." His center-fold map is taken from the 1924 "NYC Director of Stations." Bill Dunbar has marked several mistakes and a number of ommissions in the Meints work. [Where more than one call is shown, the oldest is shown first] NOTE: Lake Shore & Michigan Southern calls are available in a separate document from "List No. 30, Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Ry Co, List of Officers, Agents and Stations, September 1884."
