A terrific resource for anyone researching #PullmanPorter ancestors, from the wonderful #Newberry #Genealogy Library in #Chicago:
"Teach with primary sources from the Newberry's collections. This FREE lesson plan teaches students about the #Pullman Company--one of the largest employers of #AfricanAmericans in the early 20th century--and the #porters who worked there."

Old Railyard Central Shops and Downtown skyscrapers in Sacramento, California. The Railyard shops, where railway maintenance was once performed, and where locomotives were built, will be converted for reuse in a major development project.

My grampa J worked 40 years for the New York Central Railroad and five more for what became the Penn Central in 1968: a westbound NYC “milk train,” with a Hudson 4-6-4 locomotive, rolls along the Hudson River west of Peekskill, New York on 16 November, 1946. and Roa Hook. Photo by Donald Furler. According to his son, Alan, the original 5x7 negative resides in the Donald W. Furler Collection at the Center for Railroad Photography & Art in Madison, Wisconsin.

Mid-Continent Railway Museum's "Santa Express" getting ready to depart the station. I traveled there to research a few of their wooden passenger rail cars for my Master's thesis. #histodons #railroadhistory #railroads

Five local railroad workers boarded their train in New Philadelphia early on a Saturday morning in October 1910 for a routine trip to Cleveland and back. Only two of the men would return home alive.
