    Railway Employee Records for Colorado Volume Iii

    RAILWAY EMPLOYEE RECORDS FOR COLORADO VOLUME III By Gerald E. Sherard (2005) When Denver’s Union Station opened in 1881, it saw 88 trains a day during its gold-rush peak. When passenger trains were a popular way to travel, Union Station regularly saw sixty to eighty daily arrivals and departures and as many as a million passengers a year. Many freight trains also passed through the area. In the early 1900s, there were 2.25 million railroad workers in America. After World War II the popularity and frequency of train travel began to wane. The first railroad line to be completed in Colorado was in 1871 and was the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad line between Denver and Colorado Springs. A question we often hear is: “My father used to work for the railroad. How can I get information on Him?” Most railroad historical societies have no records on employees. Most employment records are owned today by the surviving railroad companies and the Railroad Retirement Board. For example, most such records for the Union Pacific Railroad are in storage in Hutchinson, Kansas salt mines, off limits to all but the lawyers. The Union Pacific currently declines to help with former employee genealogy requests. However, if you are looking for railroad employee records for early Colorado railroads, you may have some success. The Colorado Railroad Museum Library currently has 11,368 employee personnel records. These Colorado employee records are primarily for the following railroads which are not longer operating. Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad (AT&SF) Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad employee records of employment are recorded in a bound ledger book (record number 736) and box numbers 766 and 1287 for the years 1883 through 1939 for the joint line from Denver to Pueblo.
  • Exhibit Overview

    Exhibit Overview

    Exhibit Overview Exhibit Summary All aboard to explore! Shrill whistles and the unmistakable clatter of wheels rolling over rails float across the pastoral landscape. Friendly chatter fills the air. It is a unique land that has held a special place in the hearts and imaginations of children for generations. Welcome to the Island of Sodor! In Thomas & Friends: Explore the Rails children explore and interact with the familiar faces and sights from HIT Entertainment’s popular series. Designed for children 2 through 7 (and their adult caregivers) the exhibit combines exciting play opportunities with important concepts in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM), and an emphasis on developing 21st century skills. These ideas are woven and layered throughout the exhibit, creating an experience that speaks to a diversity of interests, age groups, and learning styles. As they travel through the space, children help Thomas and his friends solve a variety of challenges. These interactive opportunities range from simple sorting and shape identification to more complicated engineering obstacles. As children confront new challenges and test their skills, the smiling faces of Thomas, Percy, and others are there to offer encouragement and remind children of how “useful” we all are. 6 Rationale “Lying in bed as a child I would hear a heavy goods train coming in and stopping at Box Station…There was no doubt in my mind that steam engines all had definite personalities. I would hear them snorting up the grade and little imagination was needed to hear in the puffings and pantings of the two engines the conversations they were having with one another: "I can't do it! I can't do it!" "Yes you can! Yes you can!" -Rev.

    Issues of Image and Performance in the Beatles' Films

    “All I’ve got to do is Act Naturally”: Issues of Image and Performance in the Beatles’ Films Submitted by Stephanie Anne Piotrowski, AHEA, to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English (Film Studies), 01 October 2008. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which in not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. (signed)…………Stephanie Piotrowski ……………… Piotrowski 2 Abstract In this thesis, I examine the Beatles’ five feature films in order to argue how undermining generic convention and manipulating performance codes allowed the band to control their relationship with their audience and to gain autonomy over their output. Drawing from P. David Marshall’s work on defining performance codes from the music, film, and television industries, I examine film form and style to illustrate how the Beatles’ filmmakers used these codes in different combinations from previous pop and classical musicals in order to illicit certain responses from the audience. In doing so, the role of the audience from passive viewer to active participant changed the way musicians used film to communicate with their fans. I also consider how the Beatles’ image changed throughout their career as reflected in their films as a way of charting the band’s journey from pop stars to musicians, while also considering the social and cultural factors represented in the band’s image.

    Preservation News Vol. 2 No. 3 Fall 2015 NGPF STARTS RESTORAT ION EFFORTS FOR D&RGW T- 12 #168 The NGPF paid $10,000.00 for the move of D&RGW narrow gauge engine; T -12 #168, from its decades-long display site at a park across from the train station in Colorado Springs to insure restoration efforts could begin this winter. Raising money to restore an engine is far easier than raising money to move it from one place to another. Hence the NGPF felt it could make a difference by underwriting the move and helping the restoration project to start. The intent is to operate this T-12 on the C&TS. The history of this class of engine is explored in a related article on page 2, but it represents late 19th century technology for passenger power and remains an elegant example of the Golden Age of railroading. #168 was shopped at D&RGW’s shops at Burnham in Denver in 1938 and donated to the City of Colorado Springs where it has remained on display, cosmetically restored until it’s move this September for restoration. Indeed, it is possible that if the #168 is in as good shape as is hoped given its overhaul prior to being placed on display, a T class engine could be steaming in Colorado in 2016. The NGPF is helping to make this possible and the effort is off to a good start. And the engines Mal Ferrell called “these beautiful Rio Grande ten- wheelers” may be around for many years to come.
