Tillitson M0165 1 Collection on Railroads M0165 Language of Material: English Contributing Institution: Department of Special Collections and University Archives Title: George E. Tillitson collection on railroads creator: Tillitson, George E. 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. Within the State file for Washington, the lumber railroads make a separate alphabetical order. signed: W.B.B., Palo Alto, May 15, 1955 Application Anyone wishing to become thoroughly familiar with the transportation background of an area - a state or a regional section of the United States or Canada - can do so through the medium of this manuscript. Such a study can be concentrated on a given portion of time - early, or “Railroads of Oregon in 1900”, etc. - or as to type of carrier, or mode of power, steam, electric - and the companies operating, trackage involved and other pertinent data readily assembled. Equipment - particularly motive power - is usually tabulated. Very Little operating data is given as to amount and number of trains daily; nor are there very often maps except for the larger company files. Timetables were not in this portion of the material. Preferred Citation: [Identification of item] George E. Tillitson collection on railroads (M0165), Dept. of Special Collections, Stanford University Libraries, Stanford, Calif. Scope and Contents Collection contains outlined corporate histories of railroads primarily in the United States and Canada. The collection covers almost every railroad that ever operated in the United States and Canada and includes some records of roads that were projected though never built, and some information on street car lines and electric interurban lines. The vast majority of the materials are notebook paper information about railroad lines, however there is a small amount of original material such as investigation reports, tariff tables, time tables, maps, postcards, photographs, newspaper clippings, and company magazines. The railroad outlines are in long hand on loose leaf 8 1/2 x 11 inches notebook paper. They include dates of incorporation, brief sketches of the history of the line, lists of points served, lists of mileage, and occasionally time schedules, maps of lines, and lists or reports of accidents on the lines. Unfortunately, the collection is incomplete, and the information provided is much more extensive for the larger lines. Information is arranged alphabetically by state and, within the state, alphabetically by name of company. An index of all companies listed in the files has been provided by the collector. Some of the companies listed have very little information. The letters listed after the state, country or province represent the alphabetical range of the companies contained within that folder. The Tillitson Manuscript is essentially a Railroad List which is unique in the degree of detail. Guide to the George E. Tillitson M0165 2 Collection on Railroads M0165 The area covered is the Continental United States and Canada, with some material on Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Cuba, and a little on Mexico. The listings within a state are a single alphabetical listing of all Railroads (public carriers), Street Railways (of all types), Private Railroads (logging and construction chiefly here) and a few others. This includes all railroads, including ones conceived, yet never built, by chance that many were incorporated, but few built: Likewise, a vast number of early, independently built short lines became absorbed into the greater large company operations; other railroads built as separate entities were actually subsidiaries or owned companies; and a vast confusion came to exist through reorganization and changes of name due to bankruptcies and similar troubles. These myriad changes have produced a tremendously complex structure, to which this material provides a useful and available key for students. Conditions Governing Use While Special Collections is the owner of the physical and digital items, permission to examine collection materials is not an authorization to publish. These materials are made available for use in research, teaching, and private study.

Just as the United States was the first true republic to endure and now has be- come the greatest republic the world has ever known, so the New York Central, one of the first important railroads to be established in America, has grown into a great transporta- tion system which, if it is not the foremost in the world, is at least among the very few in the front rank. In the development of the nation the New York Central Railroad has played an essential part. It became the principal highway over which flowed the stream of emigration to people the West, and it has remained the favorite ave- nue of communication between East and West for the descendants of these pioneer emigrants. Keeping pace with the demands upon it for transportation, the New York Central has de- veloped into a railroad system now known as The New York Central Lines, which moves about ten per cent of the aggregate amount of freight hauled by all the railroads as Measured in ton-miles, that is, one ton hauled one mile, 3 NEW Y-0 P.,K_ CENTELAL LIN ES ••• 04101110"r.- Grand Central Terminal, New York City, as it appears from Forty -second Street.

From the records in the possession of Alderman Francis W.
