The MidMid----SouthSouth Flyer Spring 2016 A Quarterly Publication of the Mid-South Chapter of the Railway & Locomotive Historical Society, Inc April Meeting Highlight Presenting Frank Ardrey — in color! Anyone familiar with the name of Frank Ardrey knows of Frank’s reputation as one of the South’s leading black & white photographers from the post-WWII era. Pick up most any book of Southeastern railroad pho- tography from the period, and you’ll find examples of Frank’s classic shots of steam and first-generation die- sel power in an around the Birmingham District. With the passing of steam, Frank laid down his camera and retired to his photo lab, where he spent many happy hours developing untold prints from his large format negative collection to sell and trade with other photographers. Then in the mid-1960s, Frank picked up a 35mm cam- era and set out to document the remaining small-town On one of his depot junkets, Frank grabbed this well-framed shot of railroad depots before they, too, had all disappeared. Southern’s “Birmingham Special” at Attalla, AL in January 1967 What isn’t generally known is that during his depot rambles, Frank also photographed the trains that happened by, much as he did back in the day when he would shoot the occasional diesel-powered train as he waited to take a steam shot. But with one significant differ- ence: While the bulk of his early photography was black & white, Frank’s later shots were taken in color! According to son Carl, from the mid-60s to mid-70s, Frank catalogued around 2,500 Kodachrome slides of freight and passenger trains across the Southeast. -

The Commission will consider adoption of land classifications and a long-term boundary for the portion of the Iron Horse State Park Trail extending from Lind east to the community of Malden including a long- term boundary that extends from Lind west to the Columbia River and the Beverly Bridge. SUPPORTING INFORMATION Appendix 1: Iron Horse State Park Trail Location and Trail Management Map Appendix 2: Descriptions of Land Classification, Conditional Uses, and Long-Term Boundary Appendix 3: Land Classification and Long-Term Boundary Map Appendix 4: Iron Horse State Park Trail Management Recommendations Appendix 5: Real Estate Plan Appendix 6: Capital Budget Request Appendix 7: Operating Budget Request SIGNIFICANT BACKGROUND INFORMATION Initial acquisition of Iron Horse State Park Trail by the State of Washington occurred in 1981. While supported by many, the sale of the former rail line was controversial for adjacent property owners, some of whom felt that the rail line should have reverted back to adjacent land owners. This concern, first expressed at initial purchase of the trail, continues to influence the planning process today. -

MSC Newsletter 4-2017
The Mid-South Flyer Spring 2017 A Publication of the Mid-South Chapter of the Railway & Locomotive Historical Society, Inc Spring Meeting Boyhood memories of a special steam engine Back in the day, most young boys developed a fascination for trains from playing with their first toy train set, or in more recent times, from watching Thomas the Tank Engine on TV. But in the case of MidSouth member Warren Jones, a childhood infatuation for a certain steam engine ignited a life-long love for trains, and steam engines in particular. That special steam engine was Gainesville Midland #301, a 2-8-0 Consolidation-type locomotive built in 1920 by Baldwin Locomotive Works. No. 301 was a familiar sight Gainesville Midland #301 around Warren’s childhood home in Gainesville, Georgia, where the railroad literally ran through his back yard. Warren recounts growing up in a railroad family and his love affair with the Gainesville Midland in an article ap- pearing in Good Old Days Magazine. He will reprise his story with personal anecdotes and photographs at the next meeting of the MidSouth Chapter on Saturday, April 22, at 2 PM in the historic Leeds Depot. The following article excerpts provide a preview of Warren’s presentation. “The year was 1952 in Gainesville, Georgia. I was ten years old, and the location was a small Southern Railroad section house with the Gainesville Midland Railroad New Holland branch forming the boundary of the back yard, a short stone’s throw from the house. The house faced the Southern double track mainline, a long stone’s throw away. -

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.
