  • DEC 0 1 2003 Termination of Coverage
    B.C.D. 08-45.30 EMPLOYER STATUS DETERMINATION DEC 0 1 2003 Termination of Coverage This is the determination of the Railroad Retirement Board concerning the continued coverage as employers under the Railroad Retirement Act (45 U.S.C. § 231 et seq.) (RRA) and the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act (45 U.S.C. § 351 et seq.) (RUIA) of 45 covered entities. The Board’s Audit and Compliance Section has identified these 45 employers which were never assigned a BA number. These entities were formerly operated by a covered rail carrier employer or formerly provided creditable service to a covered employer. In each case, the railroad operator or service recipient no longer operates and has been terminated as a covered employer. Since the operating/service recipient companies have ceased railroad or rail related operations and, in many instances, have ceased to exist, and no railroad or rail related operation is conducted by or on behalf of any of these 45 entities, their employer status is terminated as explained in more detail below. Union Lumber Company Service for Union Lumber Company was credited to the California Western Railroad and Navigation Company (BA Number 2703), which was a covered employer from June 30, 1905 to January 1, 1948, when its name was changed to California Western Railroad. California Western Railroad retained BA Number 2703 and was a covered employer until it ceased operations June 30, 1976. The Board’s records indicate that the service of train and engine crews engaged in the operation of the logging railroad of Union Lumber Company was creditable as service to the California Western Railroad & Navigation Company from December 1, 1917.

  • Transportation,Of the Foundations of Modern Life
    NOTES ON PITTSBURGH TRANSPORTATION PRIOR TO 1890 1 HENRY OLIVER EVANS widespread, coordinated, efficient, cheap, is one Transportation,of the foundations of modern life. This is particularly true of our country, with its long distances, and our transportation system is one of the strongest reasons for our preeminence. Peoples under the Nazi whip bid fair to starve or be underfed, very largely because of transpor- tation defects. The lands under Nazi rule have only 140,000 miles of railroad as against our 240,000 miles. The total of the railroad mileage of three of our states is almost as great as that of either Germany or France. But good transportation facilities have always underlain strong coun- tries. A plausible case can be made for the thesis that the Roman paved road was the skeleton on which the Roman Empire attained its greatest strength; quite as great a factor, at least, as the Roman legions and Ro- man aptitude for conquest and administration. America was discovered because of the search for better, shorter transportation to China. Marco Polo's accounts of Far Eastern wealth and civilization had inflamed the desires of the Venetian merchant princes but the disintegration of the By- zantine Empire and the rise of the Turks closed the land routes to the China Sea. A shorter sea route was indicated, and so when Columbus sailed from Palos he bore a letter from their Christian Majesties, Fer- dinand and Isabella, to the Khan of Cathay. Cabot sailed "to find the lands whence caravans of Oriental goods came to Alexandria." John Smith followed the Chickahominy on the same quest and when Hendrik Hudson ascended the Hudson River and landed at Albany he was seeking a northwest passage to China.

  • B-7 Isabel H. Benham Papers Finding Aid .Pdf
    ISABEL H. BENHAM COLLECTION Physical Description: 80 linear feet of paper records, including mostly creator-labeled files, numerous bound case files and annual financial reports to the Interstate Commerce Commission and other parties. Location: Off-site storage, see Mercantile Library staff for assistance. Dates: Overall the collection spans the six decades of Ms. Benham's career: 1934 – 1994, but the highest concentration of material is from the 1970's and 1980's. RESTRICTIONS: See Mercantile Library staff. Provenance: This collection was donated to the Mercantile's Barriger Library by Ms. Isabel Benham in several installments from 1987 to 1994. Biographical sketch: Ms. Isabel Hamilton Benham was a pioneering Wall Street career woman, serving as a financial analyst and advisor to railroad companies from the 1930's to the 1990's. Ms. Benham was born in Buffalo in 1909 and raised in upstate New York by Reverend Wesley Hamilton and Eva Ann Benham. She attended Bryn Mawr College, graduating with a degree in Economics in 1931, and immediately set off for Wall Street, enrolling in a bond sales course at the Guaranty Trust Company. Initially unable to find work, Ms. Benham's first job was selling subscriptions for the newly-established New Yorker magazine to her Wall Street interviewers. After much difficulty, in 1932, she was able to secure a position with a government agency, the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, which was set up to loan funds to distressed banks and railroads in the Great Depression. In 1934, she took a job with R.W. Pressprich & Co., and was promoted to a railroad analyst position a few years later.
