  • B-1 John W Barriger III Papers Finalwpref.Rtf
    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.

  • “The Last Steam Railroad in America” Shaffers Crossing, Roanoke, Virginia, 1958
    ON THE COVER “The Last Steam Railroad in America” Shaffers Crossing, Roanoke, Virginia, 1958 ROBERT C. POST September 11 didn’t change everything, but it changed a lot. Consider, for example, what it changed for those of us who take pictures of the built envi- ronment. No matter how fatuous yellow and orange alerts may seem, pho- tographing bridges, mills, or railroads can look suspicious, and it will often attract the attention of the authorities. Now, for most historians, cameras are only a hobby. But not always. Take John Stilgoe, author of the prizewin- ning Metropolitan Corridor: Railroads and the American Scene (1983) and a scholar who, in his own words, has “made photographs all over the United States as part of my employment at Harvard University.” Having been has- sled in recent times, Stilgoe reports that he has “been legally briefed by both my own attorneys and those of my employer.” To those for whom taking photos is not connected with their employ- ment, however, and who don’t have recourse to Harvard lawyers—that is, hobbyists—Stilgoe recommends a book published, it so happens, in Sep- tember 2001; the author is a Portland, Oregon, attorney named Bert P. Krages, and it is titled Legal Handbook for Photographers: The Rights and Liabilities of Making Images.Legalities, Krages explains, are “premised on balancing the right of photographers to document the world against the rights of others to enjoy their privacy and property.”Photographers who do not understand “what, where, and when they can photograph” tend toward “blissful ignorance, extreme caution, or reckless abandon.” Which brings me to the image on the cover of this issue.

  • The Mid-South Flyer South Flyer
    The MidMid----SouthSouth Flyer Summer 2015 A Publication of the Mid-South Chapter of the Railway & Locomotive Historical Society, Inc July Meeting Woodward Iron RR to be featured at July meeting The Woodward Iron Company Railroad was unique in being a keystone in one of the most com- plete vertically integrated industrial companies in the United States. Over four generations of the Woodward family operated a company that was synonymous with Birmingham as a producer of Woodward #35 with hot metal cars at Woodward Iron Furnace circa 1959 (Tom Lawson collection) “merchant iron” from 1881 to 1973 – the actual beginnings of the Woodward Company predate the beginning of the City of Birmingham. The Woodward Company and its leaders were a strong part of Birmingham’s business community, and its building occupied one street corner of the “heaviest corner on Earth.” Third generation A. H. “Rick” Woodward was perhaps one of the most colorful business leaders in Birmingham, including his owning the Birmingham Barons Baseball team, being the builder of Rickwood Field, and being a “millionaire” locomotive engineer. Mid-South member John Stewart has made a study of the Woodward family’s contribution to Birmingham’s indus- trial development, and John will present his research in a narrated slide program at our July 18 chapter meeting.
