I also have ... an older one which someone tore the title page out of...  It's likely one of those 4/15/1898 models, but we'll never know for sure...

Let's find out for sure, Mister King !  Check yours for the following features, which characterize the 1898 Rule Book...

Page 8 is the first page bearing a printed page number.

The 11th page is unnumbered but contains General Rules 1 through part of 5, the last word being "...practices;"

Page 24 covers Yard Masters, Rules 42-47.

Page 48 carries rules 114 through part of 115, the last words being "... for their safety; in"

Page 63 carries rules 191-195.

Pages 89 to 94 are blank and unnumbered.  (Page 89 in my copy has a paste-in covering "Road Foremen of Engines."

Page 127 carries Rule 407 through (part of Rule 412(a), the last words being "... the train displaying the"

Pages 132-139 are blank. Pages 153-158 are blank.  Pages 173-178 are blank.

Page 183 gives rules 508-510.

The last page of the book is 192, which concludes with rule 542.

The binding on these books must have been lousy.  Four or five pages in my copy are completely loose from the stitching.  I just noticed in going through the book that pages 161-162 are missing.

If you want me to send you a scan of the title pages which is missing from your book, write me at pravoslavna at gmail.com .    Perhaps someone can provide me with a scan of pp. 161/162.
