Pacific Great Eastern Railway Company

[BoxcabE50]

This predecessor company name disappeared on April 1, 1972. Hoping there are a few BCR family fans out there. Thought I'd take a railroadiana trip back about 30-40 years. To some places that are now no more.

An unusual use for a form. This 13" long paper, is normally reserved for use in putting out a "schedule" order. Instead, it's a very lengthy "slow" order.

Issued to Passenger Train Number 1. The BC30 was one of their RDC engines.

This order is unusual for a couple of reasons. One being the red lettering. For another, all the "unknown" engines. Someone had failed to notify the dispatcher of power assignments!

Sad to see. Sometimes you'd find something like the above laying on a track while rail fanning.

Gathering the above was a long, long time process. Many, many years of letter writing, swap meets, sales lists, and a rare trade or two.

If interested, can do the same for BCR.
