Material: Abstract: The Reading Company, chartered in 1871, became the holding company for the system of railroads, canals and coal mines assembled between 1833 and 1896 by its predecessor, the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad Company. The collection consists of graphic materials relating to the Reading Company and its predecessor, the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company ^ Return to Table of Contents Historical Note The Reading Company, chartered in 1871, became the holding company for the system of railroads, canals and coal mines assembled between 1833 and 1896 by its predecessor, the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad Company. The Reading Company owned, leased or held a controlling interest in rail lines throughout southeastern and central Pennsylvania, with branches stretching as far north as Scranton and as far west as Williamsport and Shippensburg. The company also held a controlling interest in the Central Railroad Company of New Jersey, giving its lines access to New York City. As a result of anti-trust proceedings, the Reading Company divested itself of its mining subsidiary in 1923. After bankruptcy in the early 1970s, viable portions of the Reading's rail network were conveyed to Conrail on April 1, 1976. The reorganized Reading Company retains real estate and other non-rail assets. - Page 3- Reading Company photographs 1975.430 ^ Return to Table of Contents Scope and Content The collection consists of graphic materials relating to the Reading Company and its predecessor, the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company. Over one third of the collection is made up of photographs of the Reading Locomotive Shop, taken in April, 1976, at the time of its closing. These images feature machinery, parts, office equipment, and trailers which had not yet been removed from the Reading Shop and the surrounding area. A number of other structures owned by the Reading Comany are also featured in the collection, including images of more than ninety stations, several YMCA buildings and the Reading Company Diesel Facilities in Rutherford, Pennsylvania. Trains are included incidentally in many of these photographs, but a number of photographs feature specific locomotives and rolling stock, especially interior images of newly built passenger and freight cars. Locomotives and rolling stock are also prominently featured in a series of accident images, including photographs of train derailments and the aftermath of collisions. Portraits and more casual photographs of presidents of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company, later the Reading Company, make up a final large portion of the collection. The majority of the more casual images feature Joseph A. Fisher, Reading Company President from 1951 to 1960, posing with unidentified groups. Two images feature Fisher with then Senator Lyndon B. Johnson. A number of miscellaneous images round out the collection, including photographs taken at Annual Meetings from 1958 to 1964, construction and interior photographs of One Reading Center in Philadelphia, and engineering drawings of an ash pit and the inclined plane at Gordon, Pennsylvania. These images represent only a fragment of the Reading Company's activities and property holdings during this period. The company's photo archive has been lost or scattered through dispersal. ^ Return to Table of Contents Administrative Information Publication Statement Audiovisual Collections PO Box 3630 Wilmington, Delaware 19807 [email protected] URL: http://www.hagley.org/library - Page 4- Reading Company photographs 1975.430 Use Restrictions Literary rights retained by depositor.

  • U.S. Railroad Retirement Board
    FOM1 315 315.1 Supplemental Annuity Background 315.1.1 General In 1966 the Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) began paying supplemental annuities, in addition to regular age and service annuities, to railroad employees who met certain criteria. At that time, eligibility for the supplemental annuity was limited to those employees who were age 65 or older with 25 or more years of railroad service and who were first awarded regular retirement annuities after June 30, 1966. The Railroad Retirement Act of 1974 (RRA) extended supplemental annuity eligibility to those employees who were age 60 or older with 30 or more years of service and who were first awarded regular age and service annuities after June 30, 1974. The 1981 Amendments to the RRA began phasing out the supplemental annuity by adding the requirement that the employee must have at least one month of creditable railroad service before October 1, 1981 to be eligible for the supplemental annuity. Therefore, a supplemental annuity is not payable to an employee who does not have at least one month of service before October 1, 1981, even if they meet all other age and service requirements. 315.1.2 Earliest Supplemental Annuity Eligibility Dates Under 1937 and 1974 Acts A. Earliest Eligibility Dates The date an age and service annuity or disability annuity is awarded is the voucher date of the award, i.e., the date the award is processed for payment. Beginning in 1966, the employee’s age and service annuity had to be vouchered after June 1966 for them to be eligible for a supplemental annuity at age 65 with at least 25 years of service.

  • Puerto Cabello and Valencia Railway Case (On Merits)
    REPORTS OF INTERNATIONAL ARBITRAL AWARDS RECUEIL DES SENTENCES ARBITRALES Puerto Cabello and Valencia Railway Case (on merits) 1903 VOLUME IX pp. 510-533 NATIONS UNIES - UNITED NATIONS Copyright (c) 2006 510 BRITISH-VENEZUELAN COMMISSION They have been law-abiding and helpful, not harmful, to the land of their domicile. The claim in question had its origin in a British subject, J. P. K. Stevenson. At his decease it came by descent to the widow and the legitimate children of Mr. Stevenson. As held by the umpire herein, it lost its original status in regard to the widow and children born in Venezuela. It retains its original status in the persons of the two sons, who were born British subjects. From the testimony received from the respondent Government since the umpire returned to the United States of America, there appears, casually, a statement that Juan had deceased recently. Since no reference is made to this fact by the representative of the respondent Government, the umpire has a right to assume that such Government regards the incident of his death not to disturb the status fixed in him at the time of the presentation of this case to the Mixed Commission. The Chopin case, found in Moore, International Arbitra- tion, page 2506, is full warrant for such a conclusion. Such would be the opinion of the umpire independent of the Chopin case. It meets the require- ments, viz: (a) British citizenship at the time of the origin of the claim; (b) British citizenship at the time of the presentation of the claim before the Com- mission.

  • Transportation Trips, Excursions, Special Journeys, Outings, Tours, and Milestones In, To, from Or Through New Jersey
    TRANSPORTATION TRIPS, EXCURSIONS, SPECIAL JOURNEYS, OUTINGS, TOURS, AND MILESTONES IN, TO, FROM OR THROUGH NEW JERSEY Bill McKelvey, Editor, Updated to Mon., Mar. 8, 2021 INTRODUCTION This is a reference work which we hope will be useful to historians and researchers. For those researchers wanting to do a deeper dive into the history of a particular event or series of events, copious resources are given for most of the fantrips, excursions, special moves, etc. in this compilation. You may find it much easier to search for the RR, event, city, etc. you are interested in than to read the entire document. We also think it will provide interesting, educational, and sometimes entertaining reading. Perhaps it will give ideas to future fantrip or excursion leaders for trips which may still be possible. In any such work like this there is always the question of what to include or exclude or where to draw the line. Our first thought was to limit this work to railfan excursions, but that soon got broadened to include rail specials for the general public and officials, special moves, trolley trips, bus outings, waterway and canal journeys, etc. The focus has been on such trips which operated within NJ; from NJ; into NJ from other states; or, passed through NJ. We have excluded regularly scheduled tourist type rides, automobile journeys, air trips, amusement park rides, etc. NOTE: Since many of the following items were taken from promotional literature we can not guarantee that each and every trip was actually operated. Early on the railways explored and promoted special journeys for the public as a way to improve their bottom line.

    Train Rides to Distant New Jersey Points From the Central RR of NJ Jersey City Terminal The following is a list of cities which could be reached at one time via trains operating to and from the Central Railroad of New Jersey Terminal at Jersey City, now Liberty State Park.
