  • Transportation Trips, Excursions, Special Journeys, Outings, Tours, and Milestones In, To, from Or Through New Jersey
    TRANSPORTATION TRIPS, EXCURSIONS, SPECIAL JOURNEYS, OUTINGS, TOURS, AND MILESTONES IN, TO, FROM OR THROUGH NEW JERSEY Bill McKelvey, Editor, Updated to Mon., Mar. 8, 2021 INTRODUCTION This is a reference work which we hope will be useful to historians and researchers. For those researchers wanting to do a deeper dive into the history of a particular event or series of events, copious resources are given for most of the fantrips, excursions, special moves, etc. in this compilation. You may find it much easier to search for the RR, event, city, etc. you are interested in than to read the entire document. We also think it will provide interesting, educational, and sometimes entertaining reading. Perhaps it will give ideas to future fantrip or excursion leaders for trips which may still be possible. In any such work like this there is always the question of what to include or exclude or where to draw the line. Our first thought was to limit this work to railfan excursions, but that soon got broadened to include rail specials for the general public and officials, special moves, trolley trips, bus outings, waterway and canal journeys, etc. The focus has been on such trips which operated within NJ; from NJ; into NJ from other states; or, passed through NJ. We have excluded regularly scheduled tourist type rides, automobile journeys, air trips, amusement park rides, etc. NOTE: Since many of the following items were taken from promotional literature we can not guarantee that each and every trip was actually operated. Early on the railways explored and promoted special journeys for the public as a way to improve their bottom line.

  • Municipal Power and Railroad Regulation in La Crosse, Wisconsin, 1883-1900 Eric J
    Grassroots Rebels: Municipal Power and Railroad Regulation in La Crosse, Wisconsin, 1883-1900 Eric J. Morser On October 18, 1893, thirty residents of La Crosse, Wisconsin, submitted a petition to their city’s Common Council. In the petition they accused the Chicago, Burlington, and Northern Rail Road Company of “running their trains at an unusual high rate of speed” and “endangering our property.”1 The Chicago, Burlington, and Northern was a branch of the Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy Railroad, one of the most powerful corporations in the American West, controlling a vast network of track that stretched from Chicago to the Pacific Northwest, employing 25,000 workers, with an operating revenue of $30 million.2 This commercial muscle did not stop La Crosse’s Common Council from issuing a stern reproach to the railroad, warning the company to slow its trains within the city’s limits or “face the consequences.”3 Six days later, the railroad’s managers agreed to do everything in their power to carry out the council’s instructions.4 In this case, La Crosse politicians used the machinery of municipal government to force a wealthy and influential railroad corporation to reconsider its practices and to act in the public interest. Historians typically depict Gilded Age railroad regulation as a story of corporate executives manipulating politicians and political institutions to increase their profits and create economic stability in their industry at the 1 John Zahn et al., Petition in Regard to Chicago, Burlington, and Northern, 18 Oct. 1893, Chicago, Burlington, and Northern Rail Road Company File [hereafter CBN], Committee on Railroads, Resolutions and Reports, 1858-1932, Common Council, City of La Crosse, La Crosse Public Library Archives, La Crosse, Wisconsin [hereafter CoRR].
