BSRA 2014-06-07 Entertainment Report
BSRA Entertainment Report for June 7, 2014 LONG FORM (for historical record) Entertainment Report for June 7, 2014 June 7, 2014. Key System & Sacramento Northern. Clark Frazier presented a visual tour of the electric suburban Key System Transbay lines from San Francisco (connecting to the surviving Municipal Railway streetcar lines) to Oakland and Berkeley from 1956 to 1958, and then the freight-only electrified Sacramento Northern during the same time period. Most of these slides were from a Winterail show in California in 2002, but we got to see additional slides after the Winterail slides.. We started with a map of the Key System, which was a privately owned company formed from consolidating several streetcar systems and a realty company (Realty Syndicate of Francis "Borax" Smith and Frank C. Havens, which built and ran such properties as the Claremont Hotel which survives today as Claremont Resort), and then taken over by National City Lines in 1948. Before seeing the Key System itself, we saw some photos of the Bridge Terminal area, including Bridge Terminal itself (eventually named Transbay Terminal, and finally closed in 2010 for replacement with a new facility), which was the San Francisco terminal of the Key System and for a short period also the Southern Pacific (by way of its subsidiary East Bay Electric) and the Sacramento Northern, and then some modern photos of some of the San Francisco Municipal Railway's heritage streetcars running on the Market Street (Muni F) line, followed by some views of Muni streetcar service from the time period we would see covered for the Key System: 1956 to 1958. -

2018 Annual Performance and Accountability Report
N M B 2018 NATIONAL MEDIATION BOARD / ANNUAL PERFORMANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY REPORT CHAIRMAN’S November 15, 2018 N LETTER The National Mediation Board had a banner year in FY 2018. The Agency’s mission – to prevent disruption to interstate commerce – remains as critical today as it was in 1934, when the Board was created under amendments to the Railway Labor Act. M NMB is pleased to report that there were no interruptions in the rail or air industry in FY 2018. Through the work of this Agency, the over twelve million jobs directly supported by the rail and air industry continued as usual. By extension, the millions of jobs dependent on the ability to travel and transport goods were also not disrupted. As unemployment B rates reach lows not seen in decades, NMB acts to ensure that work disruptions in the air or rail sectors do not dampen economic growth. NMB is proud to play its part in keeping the United States’ job-producing economy strong. At the start of the fiscal year, the Board’s statutory complement of three members was restored when two new Board Members and one sitting Board Member were unanimously confirmed by the United States Senate. At full strength, the new Board has been able to address issues which have long been of concern at NMB. For example, the Board addressed the fact that NMB has no assigned Inspector General by establishing a Memorandum of Understanding with the Inspector General of the National Labor Relations Board to create an anonymous hotline to report fraud, waste and abuse. -

Tillitson M0165 1 Collection on Railroads M0165 Language of Material: English Contributing Institution: Department of Special Collections and University Archives Title: George E. 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. -
