Scope and Contents The CSRM Passes collection consists of railroad passes that were used by railroad employees and their families to travel for free. The passes vary geographically to include railroads from across the United States as well as from the late 1850's through the 1970's. Many of the passes are labeled the names of employees as well as their family members who are entitled to the usage of the pass. Gilbert Kniess, Vice-President and head of the Western Pacific Public Relations Department from 1949 to 1963, is named on many of the passes within the collection. Passes within the collection also came from Grahame Hardy. Charles Crocker has signed several of the passes that are within the Southern Pacific portion of the collection.
