Identifier/Call Number: M0165 Physical Description: 50.5 Linear Feet(9 cartons and 99 manuscript storage boxes) Date (inclusive): 1880-1959 Abstract: Notes on the history of railroads in the United States and Canada. Conditions Governing Access The collection is open for research. Note that material is stored off-site and must be requested at least 36 hours in advance of intended use. Provenance Gift of George E. Tillitson, 1955. Special Notes One very useful feature of the material is further described in the two attached pages. This is the carefully annotated study of a good many of the important large railroads of the United States complete within their own files, these to be found within the official state of incorporation. Here will be included page references to the frequently huge number of small short-line roads that usually wound up by being “taken in” to the larger and expending Class II and I roads. Some of these files, such as the New York Central or the Pennsylvania Railroad are very big themselves. Michigan, Wisconsin, Oregon, and Washington are large because the many lumber railroads have been extensively studied out.

Introduction I am Andy Daly. I am Senior Director of Passenger Operations for CSX Transportation, Inc. (“CSXT”). My role as Senior Director of Passenger Operations includes overseeing the daily operations of passenger operations hosted by CSXT, as well as upholding CSXT’s contractual and statutory obligations with respect to passenger service. I have been involved in the analysis of CSX’s proposed acquisition of Pan Am Systems, Inc. (“Systems”) (the “Proposed Transaction”) since the bid process. Specifically, I have been involved in outreach, coordination, and planning for the integration of the current as well as the proposed passenger services on the PAR System1 and PAS Network. In connection with preparation of the Application submitted in this proceeding on February 25, 2021, and the Amended Application submitted in this proceeding on April 26, 2021, I oversaw the CSXT team that worked with the Systems team to prepare the passenger rail elements of the Operating Plan attached as Exhibits 13 to those filings. In order to highlight the importance that CSXT places on potential impacts to passenger rail resulting from the Proposed Transaction, I have prepared this Verified Statement to consolidate all discussion of passenger rail issues.
