1913 Annual Report Histories

Histories of the parts of The New York Central Railroad System were included in the1913 Annual Report. In a recent search, I came up with four that are currently posted on the internet:

History of The Cleveland Cincinnati Chicago and St Louis Railway and its predecessors
http://madisonrails.railfan.net/bigfour.html

History of The Lake Shore and Michigan Southern and its predecessors

Pittsburgh and Lake Erie

West Shore Railroad Company

Some could be found on the ‘old’ railroad.net website, but do not appear on the current website. I printed a copy of the Michigan Central History from the old site and have since scanned & converted it to a .doc file. I would be happy to share it with anyone who is interested in the MC and/or could post it on a website.

It seems likely that other histories from the 1913 Annual Report may have been posted. I found some old links to an IHB History on the old railroad.net website. Does anyone know of any additional ones currently on the internet? Or did anyone save any that are not currently posted?

We have some material from the original 1996-vintage site on CD... I'll see if we cant find some of these old texts.

:D The solution was right under my nose in the NYC forum's second topic above - "Did someone save the pages of the old forum?"

Follow CNW4404's directions to get to the archived forums.

The histories I was looking for can be found on the Nov. 1998 New York Central Homepage - http://web.archive.org/web/199812030635 ... d.net/nyc/
