PROVENANCE Gift of Dr. Theodore Kornweibel, Jr. (387-2089), 2010

HISTORICAL INFORMATION Dr. Theodore Kornwiebel, Jr. was born on November 15, 1942. His interest in railroading began as a child when he read every railroad book in the library. He became involved in the civil rights movement in the 1960s. He says that "what really sealed my passion for African-American history was my first teaching job, which was at a still-segregated, all black state college in , Prairie View A&M College (The African-American Railroad Experience, KPBS.org, p. 7 of 19)

While studying for his Ph.D. in African American Studies at Yale in the late 1960s, Dr. Kornweibel volunteered as a gandy dancer (track maintenance worker) on the Valley Railroad (an abandoned New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad line) tourist train service in eastern Connecticut.

After he received his degree from Yale, Dr. Kornweibel took a job at Lafayette College in Easton, Pennsylvania teaching black studies. He became a volunteer track worker on the New Hope & Ivyland Railroad tourist line near . In 1977, he moved to California to teach African American Studies at San Diego State University and started volunteering at the Pacific Southwest Railway Museum in Campo, which he continues to do after 30 years.

In 1993, when the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania asked him to recommend an authority on African American railroad history to give a presentation. Dr. Kornweibel offered to prepare a lecture and slide presentation "Box Cars On My Mind: The African American Railroad Heritage," which he brought to other railroad museums, including the California State Railroad Museum in 1994. He began in-depth research into the subject during a sabbatical taken in 1999-2000, which culminated in his book RAILROADS IN THE AFRICAN AMERICAN EXPERIENCE: A PHOTOGRAPHIC JOURNEY, (Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 2009.)
