Fritz Lehmann Fonds FRITZ LEHMANN FONDS Accession AX0037 2 Fritz Lehmann (1936-1994) Dates: 1824-2000, predominant 1965-1994 Extent: 2.24 linear metres of textual and graphic material Scope and content: The fonds reflects Lehmann’s research on Canadian railway development and its sources of locomotives. He conducted research on companies that built locomotives in Halifax, Saint John, Montreal, Toronto, and Hamilton, but there is also an entire series of research files on the succession of companies in Kingston, including particularly the Canadian Locomotive Company. The fonds is arranged into the following: eight series: 1) Articles and Talks (1965- 1994); 2) Canadian Locomotive Builders Project (1969-1994) on his book project; 3) Canadian Locomotive Builders (1824-1990) 4) Canadian Railway Shops (1859-1900); 5) Canadian Locomotive Co. (1845-1991); 6) Miscellaneous reference files (1858-1985); 7) Locomotives and Railways, Articles and Books (1876-2000); and 8) Photos and Slides (1852- 1987). Biography: Fritz Lehmann was born in 1936 in Oak Park, Illinois. He received his undergraduate degree at Oberlin College in 1958, and his master’s degrees and Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin (1961, 1967). His area of expertise was the history of India and the South Asian region, in particular the role of Islam in the region, technology and its relation to the region`s culture and development, and Urdu language and literature. He joined the University of British Columbia’s Department of History in 1967, where he was a member of the faculty until his death in 1994. Throughout his life Lehmann was a lover of railways, especially steam locomotives. Wherever he went, he sought out, photographed and studied railways. In the late 1970s he became aware that very little was known about the locomotive construction industry in Canada. He decided to write a book about this subject and started writing articles on various individual manufacturers. He also collected material on Canadian railways on the macro level. He worked diligently on this project on his own time. However a stroke in 1988 slowed work down and his book remained incomplete at the time of his death. Related Materials: Lehmann’s archives can mainly be found at the University of British Columbia Archives where his fonds covers his university teaching and research. The Canada Museum of Science and Technology fonds contains his research on Canadian railways and locomotive building.

Il a fait des recherches sur les sociétés qui fabriquaient des locomotives à Halifax, à Saint John, à Montréal, à Toronto et à Hamilton, et a monté une série entière de dossiers sur la succession d’entreprises à Kingston, plus particulièrement sur la Canadian Locomotive Company. Le fonds de recherche se compose de huit catégories : 1) articles et conférences (1965-1994); 2) projet sur les fabricants canadiens de locomotives (rédaction d’un livre, 1969-1994); 3) fabricants canadiens de locomotives (1824-1991); 4) ateliers ferroviaires canadiens (1859- 1900); 5) entreprise Canadian Locomotive Company (1845-1991); 6) divers dossiers de référence (1858-1985); 7) locomotives et chemins de fer (articles et livres, 1876-2000); et 8) photographies et diapositives (1852-1987). Notice biographique : Fritz Lehmann est né en 1936 à Oak Park, en Illinois. Il a obtenu son baccalauréat au Oberlin College en 1958 et a fait une maîtrise à l’Université du Wisconsin (1961 et 1967, respectivement). Son domaine de compétence était l’histoire de l’Inde et de la région de l’Asie du sud, s’intéressant particulièrement au rôle de l’Islam dans ces régions ainsi qu’à son incidence sur la technologie, la culture et le développement, et à la langue urdu et sa littérature. Il a intégré le département d’histoire de l’Université de la Colombie-Britannique en 1967, où il a fait partie de la faculté jusqu’à son décès, en 1994. Tout au long de sa vie, Lehmann s’est passionné pour les chemins de fers, et surtout pour les locomotives à vapeur. Partout où il allait, il cherchait, photographiait et étudiait les voies ferrées. À la fin des années 1970, il a compris que l’industrie canadienne de la fabrication de locomotives était bien mal connue. Il a donc décidé d’écrire un livre sur le sujet et de rédiger des articles sur les différents fabricants. Il a également accumulé du matériel sur le réseau ferroviaire canadien provenant de la scène mondiale. Il a travaillé assidûment sur ce projet pendant ses temps libres. Toutefois, un accident vasculaire cérébral, en 1988, a ralenti ses travaux, et il n’a jamais pu finir la rédaction de son ouvrage.

ABSTRACT The steam locomotive is one of the most recognizable artifacts from industrial history. After their demise in the mid-twentieth century, those that were not cut up for scrap found homes at new transportation museums and with railroad historical organizations.

  • “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 Economics of Coal As a Locomotive Fuel on US Class I Railroads Executive Summary
    1 The Economics of Coal as a Locomotive Fuel on US Class I Railroads By John Rhodes, student For Dr. Ken Button, professor Executive Summary: A coal-fueled locomotive could achieve a 64.2% average cost savings2 over the current petroleum diesel-fueled locomotive. This comparison is based on ton-miles per dollar of fuel consumed in calendar year 2006. US Class I railroads burned 4.2 billion3 gallons of diesel fuel in 2006, costing $8.1 billion4. The dollar value of coal that would accomplish the same amount of “work” is only $3.0 billion5, according to calculations. This is a cost savings of $5.1 billion6 in the single year of 2006. That is an incredible cost savings over the use of diesel fuel, which is largely imported, compared to coal, which is mined locally in the US. Those 4.2 billion gallons of diesel fuel comprise 6.6%7 of the nation’s diesel fuel use. That quantity of diesel fuel could be replaced by 72.3 million8 tons of coal, equivalent to only 6.2%9 of the 1.16 billion10 ton yearly production of coal. Use of coal-fueled locomotives would require the replacement of the US Class I’s fleet of locomotives. The Class I’s would need to buy an estimated 21,347 new coal- fueled locomotives11 to replace the current fleet of diesels. That is expected to cost $3.5 billion12 per year over each of fifteen years compared to $1.7 billion13 spent annually on new diesels assuming a 25-year renewal rate.
