Descripción

Descripción:

Two sheets printed on both sides, each 9 3/4 x 13 3/4 inches. One vertical and two horizontal creases. Near fine. These are the ninth and tenth timetables for employees of Connecticut's Shore Line Railway, with "General Regulations and Special Instructions for All Trains Run on the Road" printed on the verso. The timetables show the arrival and departure times for mail, freight, and passenger trains on the route from New Haven to New London and back, below which are printed the rules and regulations for specific situations and exceptions. The General Regulations and Special Instructions on the verso provide job descriptions for different positions on the train, including conductors, enginemen, brakemen, track repairers (whose responsibilities included keeping cattle off the tracks), and others. There is also a list of situations which would lead to forfeiture of bonuses for an engineman, including hitting livestock. Other than changes to the timetable and the commensurate changes to the rules and regulations below, the content of each sheet is identical. The Shore Line Railway began construction between New Haven and New London in 1850, extending the New York and New Haven Railroad eastward. It first opened in 1852, and was eventually continued to Stonington where it joined with the western end of the New York, Providence, and Boston Railroad. Much of the Shore Line Railway continues to operate today as Shore Line East, connecting New London to New York City. An interesting and well- preserved look at the daily operation and duties of a 19th century New England railroad. N° de ref. del artículo WRCAM57141
