N&W Rule Book of April 15, 1898

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

Abram,

One of us has an odd-ball 1898 rule book (see my comments in caps following yours below).

The title page of my book is as follows:

Norfolk and Western Railway Company, Rules and Regulations for the Government of the Operating Department, Superseding all existing Orders or Instructions Inconsistent Therewith, Effective April 15, 1898, 12:01 AM

The printer is Stone Printing and Manufacturing Co., Roanoke, Va. (no date).

  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.
