A Happy & Safe 2016 Thanksgiving to ALL!
Well, as a few of you know, (and many fans do not) archives care-taker GPS, re-covered & cared for, placed/stored
most of this Original Historical Collection in Banker-Storage
box's for transport & safe keeping to the Hi-Line.
As we received the collection over several weeks time,
we simply transferred entire contents/box's into larger air-tight Rubbermade*/Steralite*
plastic storage containers.
As archive box's were received/opened, only quick glance was made by JR/JZ/GPS. Short note(s) were made
on these re-packed plastic containers as to possible content.
This past week, one (1) such container was re-opened, a more careful
exam began of the contents. WOW!!!!!
So far, happy to report, much of this original (50-75 yr.old.) paper-work is still in
good condition, some pristine... in this first storage box.
*Folders of General Notices & Orders from 1920-1946.
*piles Train Orders-Work Orders etc.
Some thru- frieght movements P&WV,WSB WPT to WLE/NKP and WM
at Connellsville Pa.
*few Mine & Coal movement info
Also,
finding some traffic info to PRR, MTR, P&LE, NYC, DS, and MSW.
Interesting train-operation info on the Clairton Branch, Coverdale, Hopedale
Bridgeville and many other sections.
All this stuff, from only one(1) re-packed plastic storage case!
Hi-Line staff in a bit of INFORMATION OVERLOAD!
...stay tuned P&WV fans, fun-stuff plans for 2017.
