Numbers of units that can be handled on trains, 1956-1966
Scope and Contents note
Subject Files are very scattered, and it appears that a sample was taken. There is one file from the 1920s listing terminals and facilities for locomotives in the Chicago area; the remainder is from the files of Master Mechanic J.R. Van Nortwick and are regarding a variety of subjects. Of interest is the small file on the rail accident occurring in Montgomery, Illinois, on Sep. 27, 1964, and the investigation report by the Interstate Commerce Commission.
