    The MidMid----SouthSouth Flyer Spring 2016 A Quarterly Publication of the Mid-South Chapter of the Railway & Locomotive Historical Society, Inc April Meeting Highlight Presenting Frank Ardrey — in color! Anyone familiar with the name of Frank Ardrey knows of Frank’s reputation as one of the South’s leading black & white photographers from the post-WWII era. Pick up most any book of Southeastern railroad pho- tography from the period, and you’ll find examples of Frank’s classic shots of steam and first-generation die- sel power in an around the Birmingham District. With the passing of steam, Frank laid down his camera and retired to his photo lab, where he spent many happy hours developing untold prints from his large format negative collection to sell and trade with other photographers. Then in the mid-1960s, Frank picked up a 35mm cam- era and set out to document the remaining small-town On one of his depot junkets, Frank grabbed this well-framed shot of railroad depots before they, too, had all disappeared. Southern’s “Birmingham Special” at Attalla, AL in January 1967 What isn’t generally known is that during his depot rambles, Frank also photographed the trains that happened by, much as he did back in the day when he would shoot the occasional diesel-powered train as he waited to take a steam shot. But with one significant differ- ence: While the bulk of his early photography was black & white, Frank’s later shots were taken in color! According to son Carl, from the mid-60s to mid-70s, Frank catalogued around 2,500 Kodachrome slides of freight and passenger trains across the Southeast.

  • Merchants and the Origins of Capitalism
    Merchants and the Origins of Capitalism Sophus A. Reinert Robert Fredona Working Paper 18-021 Merchants and the Origins of Capitalism Sophus A. Reinert Harvard Business School Robert Fredona Harvard Business School Working Paper 18-021 Copyright © 2017 by Sophus A. Reinert and Robert Fredona Working papers are in draft form. This working paper is distributed for purposes of comment and discussion only. It may not be reproduced without permission of the copyright holder. Copies of working papers are available from the author. Merchants and the Origins of Capitalism Sophus A. Reinert and Robert Fredona ABSTRACT: N.S.B. Gras, the father of Business History in the United States, argued that the era of mercantile capitalism was defined by the figure of the “sedentary merchant,” who managed his business from home, using correspondence and intermediaries, in contrast to the earlier “traveling merchant,” who accompanied his own goods to trade fairs. Taking this concept as its point of departure, this essay focuses on the predominantly Italian merchants who controlled the long‐distance East‐West trade of the Mediterranean during the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Until the opening of the Atlantic trade, the Mediterranean was Europe’s most important commercial zone and its trade enriched European civilization and its merchants developed the most important premodern mercantile innovations, from maritime insurance contracts and partnership agreements to the bill of exchange and double‐entry bookkeeping. Emerging from literate and numerate cultures, these merchants left behind an abundance of records that allows us to understand how their companies, especially the largest of them, were organized and managed.

Heavyweight Single Window Coach, New York Central. Pullman Green with black roof, underframe and trucks (four-wheel trucks). Imitation gold lettering including roadname top center and road number at bottom center. Approximate Time Period: early 1940s into the 1960s. I think it’s safe to say that this is one of the most eagerly anticipated body styles to come from the folks in Talent. I don’t know who is more excited about getting it to market—N Scalers or Micro-Trains itself. The production logistics of this car, chiefly the ability to reproduce the very narrow spacing between the single windows, was, to put it mildly, non-trivial. I don’t remember when this car was initially announced, but it was discussed back in 2016 on one of the major discussion boards. The 2347 was part of the series 2314 to 2353 with forty cars.

  • Peter Dalla Riva
    Peter Dalla Riva Eric Prins & Philip Pasma Prof. Byl Ped 201 March 30, 2011 Peter Dalla Riva Peter Dalla Riva was an exceptional football player, playing as a tight end for the Montreal Alouettes in the Canadian Football League (CFL) for 14 years. Though born in Italy, Dalla Riva spent most of his childhood in Hamilton, Ontario, and this is where he was first introduced to football. Dalla Riva says, “I lived three blocks from Ivor Wynne Stadiumand football was always in my blood.”1 It was in the Hamilton area that Dalla Riva worked and played football in the junior and senior leagues. Many people around Hamilton are familiar with Dalla Riva and his family, and are proud of his accomplishments. Hamilton was the first real home that Dalla Riva remembered, and was the place that started Dalla Riva in football. People who live in Hamilton can be inspired by his skills in football and can inspire people to play football. Dalla Riva`s career has played a part in the popularity of the sport in Hamilton. Peter Dalla Riva was born on December 11, 1946 in Treviso, Italy.2 Dalla Riva was the oldest of five children and at the age of seven he and his family moved to Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.3 Dalla Riva’s family was poor and at times his father struggled to earn enough money to properly provide for his family. So at the age of 16 Dalla Riva quit school and decided to work at Stelco, a steel mill in Hamilton. This job helped him earn the money needed to provide for his family.

  • Union Depot Tower Interlocking Plant
    Union Depot Tower Union Depot Tower (U.D. Tower) was completed in 1914 as part of a municipal project to improve rail transportation through Joliet, which included track elevation of all four railroad lines that went through downtown Joliet and the construction of a new passenger station to consolidate the four existing passenger stations into one. A result of this overall project was the above-grade intersection of 4 north-south lines with 4 east-west lines. The crossing of these rail lines required sixteen track diamonds. A diamond is a fixed intersection between two tracks. The purpose of UD Tower was to ensure and coordinate the safe and timely movement of trains through this critical intersection of east-west and north-south rail travel. UD Tower housed the mechanisms for controlling the various rail switches at the intersection, also known as an interlocking plant. Interlocking Plant Interlocking plants consisted of the signaling appliances and tracks at the intersections of major rail lines that required a method of control to prevent collisions and provide for the efficient movement of trains. Most interlocking plants had elevated structures that housed mechanisms for controlling the various rail switches at the intersection. Union Depot Tower is such an elevated structure. Source: Museum of the American Railroad Frisco Texas CSX Train 1513 moves east through the interlocking. July 25, 1997. Photo courtesy of Tim Frey Ownership of Union Depot Tower Upon the completion of Union Depot Tower in 1914, U.D. Tower was owned and operated by the four rail companies with lines that came through downtown Joliet.
