  • Canadian Rail No162 1965
    <:;an..adi J~mnn Number 162 / Janua r y 1965 Cereal box coupons and soap package enclosures do not general­ ly excite much enthusiasm from the editor of 'Canadian Rail', but we must admit we are looking forward with some eagerness to comp­ leting our collection of RAILWAY MUGS currently being distribut e d by the Quaker Oats Company, in their specially-marked packages of Quaker Oats. This series of twelve hot chocolate mugs depicts the develop - ment of the steam locomotive in Canada from the 0-6-0 "Samson", to the CPR 2-10-4 #8000. The mugs are being offered by the Quaker Oats Company of Cana­ da to salute Canada's Centennial, and the part played by the rail­ ways and their steam locomotives in furthering the pro ~ ress of the nation. Each cup pictures an authentic locomotive design -- one shows a Canadian Northern 2-8-0, a type of locomotive that made a major contribution to the country's prairie economy by moving grain from the Western provinces to the Lakehead -- another shows one of the Canadian Pacific's ubiquitous D-10 engines. There are 12 different locomotives in the series - each a col­ lector's item. The reproductions are precisely etched in decora­ tive colours and trimmed with 22k gold.

  • Milwaukee Road
    ,­ T E MARC GREEN: -30­ Marc Green, director of information services, retired on March 31, ending a distinguished ca­ reer of 39 years with the Milwaukee Road. For 36 of those years it would be no exaggeration to state that Marc served as the voice of the railroad. Marc joined the Milwaukee in 1936 in the Real Estate Department. He transferred to the Public Relations Department in 1939 as assist­ ant editor of the Milwaukee Road Magazine, one of the railroad industry's oldest employee pub­ lications. Marc became editor in 1940, a post he filled ably and creatively until 1958 when he was named director of publicity. He was appointed director of information services in 1972. During his long career Marc wrote literally millions of words about the Milwaukee Road. His positions in the Public Relations Department provided him with a vantage point afforded to few people who have worked for the railroad. In the magazine, annual reports, countless news releases and an endless procession of other publi­ cations Marc reported the activities of the Mil­ waukee Road during some of the most exciting years of its history. Marc was also active in various professional associations. He is a former president of the American Railroad Magazine Editors Associa­ tion (now the Association of Railroad Editors) ; a member of the Chicago Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America; a member of the Chicago Public Relations Clinic; and a member of the Railroad Public Relations Association. Those who had the privilege of associating with Marc Green know him as a talented writer, a keen observer of the times and a loyal and ded­ icated employee.

  • Appendix 6-B: Chronology of Amtrak Service in Wisconsin
    Appendix 6-B: Chronology of Amtrak Service in Wisconsin May 1971: As part of its inaugural system, Amtrak operates five daily round trips in the Chicago- Milwaukee corridor over the Milwaukee Road main line. Four of these round trips are trains running exclusively between Chicago’s Union Station and Milwaukee’s Station, with an intermediate stop in Glenview, IL. The fifth round trip is the Chicago-Milwaukee segment of Amtrak’s long-distance train to the West Coast via St. Paul, northern North Dakota (e.g. Minot), northern Montana (e.g. Glacier National Park) and Spokane.

This document was originally published to help celebrate Michigan’s 150th birthday in 1987. A number of organizations and individuals contributed to its development at that time. The document has continued to be used by many since that time, so a decision was made to bring it up to date and keep the information current.

  • CED-80-61 Conrail's Attempts to Control Labor Costs and Improve Its
    REPORTBY THE Comptroller General OF THE UNITEDSTATES Conrail’s Attempts To Control Labor Costs And Improve Its Labor Productivity If Conrail is to attain financial self-sufficiency, it must gain better control of its labor costs, which are considerably higher than those of other railroads. Some of the reasons for Con- rail’s high labor costs are linked to the nature of its labor agreements. Conrail is taking action to improve its labor productivity. One major accomplishment has been an agreement with the United Transpor- tation Union to reduce the size of train crews. GAO believes that Conrail’s productivity, and labor productivity in the rail industry as a whole, could be improved if management and labor worked together to change outmoded or restrictive work rules. CED-80-61 JUNE 20.1980 COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITE0 STATES WAsHINQToN. DC. 20&m B-198888 The Honorable Birch Bayh Chairman, Subcommittee on Transportation Senate Committee on Appropriations The Honorable Russell B. Long Chairman, Subcommittee on Surface Transportation Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation The Honorable Robert B. Duncan Chairman, Subcommittee on Transportation House Committee on Appropriations The Honorable James J. Florio Chairman, Subcommittee on Trans- portation and Commerce House Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce This report discusses Conrail's attempts to improve its labor productivity. The report summarizes Conrail's progress to date in improving its labor productivity and discusses related industrywide work rule issues. We made this review because labor expenses are Conrail's largest cost and because control of labor cost and improvement of labor productivity is critical to Conrail's becoming finan- cially self-sufficient.

But the era­ sures were not always complete; and so it became the fascinating task of scholars not only to translate the later records but also to reconstruct the original writ­ ings by deciphering the dim fragments of letters partly erased and partly covered by subsequent texts. The history of Iowa may be likened to a palimpsest which holds the record of successive generations. To decipher these records of the past, reconstruct them, and tell the stories which they contain is the task of those who write history. Contents THE WABASH IN IOWA Frank P.
