  • President Little Schuylkill Navigation Railroad and Coal Compar Dear
    July 3, 1941 Mr. | |, President Little Schuylkill Navigation Railroad and Coal Compar Dear Sir: There has been presented for my consideration the question whether the Little Schuylkill Navigation Railroad and Coal Company is an employer under the Railroad Retirement and Railroad Unemployment Insurance Acts. It appears from information submitted by Mr. I, secretary-treasurer of your company, and from information secured from other sources, that the Little Schuylkill Navigation Rail­ road and Coal Company was incorporated September 14, 1829, under an act of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, for the purpose of making a lock navigation on the East Branch of the Schuylkill River. By special act of April 23, 1831, and supplementary acts, however, the company was authorized to build and operate a railroad instead of a canal. It constructed a railroad, as authorized, and opened it for operation on November IS, 1831. The road was operated directly by the company from that date to April 1, 1863, when the entire road was leased by the company to the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company. On December 1, 1896, this lease was terminated and the property was as of that date leased to the Philadelphia and Reading Railway Company, successor to the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company, for a period of 999 years. On January 1, 1924, the lease was assumed by the Reading Company, suc­ cessor to the Philadelphia and Reading Railway Company, and the Reading Company has continued since that date to operate the line of railroad of the Little Schuylkill Navigation Railroad and Coal Company in inter­ state commerce, as lessee under that lease.

  • U.S. Railroad Retirement Board
    FOM1 Art 2 Appendices Appendix A - Prior Service and Red Cap Service Development and Adjudication A1. Prior Service Defined Prior service under the Railroad Retirement Act (RRA) means service performed before 1-1-37. Service performed before 1937 may be credited only if, on 8-29-35, the employee met the conditions for an Employment Relation (ER) described in Appendix C of this chapter. A2. Red Cap Service Defined A person who rendered service as a redcap or other station attendant before 9-1941, and whose duties consisted of carrying hand baggage and assisting passengers’ stations, received credit for all such verified service even though he received no remuneration from an employer for such service. a. 1937 Railroad Retirement Act Under the 1937 Railroad Retirement Act, redcap months prior to 9-1941 were treated as prior service months and the redcap compensation was included in the prior service average. b. Under the 1974 Railroad Retirement Act The 1974 Railroad Retirement Act changed the usage of redcap service and compensation after 12-1936 and before 9-1941; these months were then used as subsequent service. However, the amount of the average redcap compensation for those months was still determined as in 1937 Act cases. A3. Maximum Number of Prior Service or Red Cap Months a. General - The number of months of prior service or red cap service that may be included in an employee's years of service is the difference between 360 and the number of months of creditable service after 1936. The prior service or red cap service months are counted in reverse order beginning with 12-1936 depending upon availability of service records and verification of service.
