Eastern Railroad Locomotives, undated
Scope and Contents
Series VIII. Secondary Material and Photographs is a collection of photographs, prints, reproductions, stereoscopic cards, postcards, and stamps depicting locomotive engines, railway cars, and life on the railroads. This series also includes clippings from magazines, journals, and newspapers. Boxes 63, 64, and 65 are arranged alphabetically. Prior to the latest processing, a numbering system was implemented for boxes 68A and 68B; the original organization has been retained. An index to the numbering system is included at the end of this finding aid. Series VIII contains material that corresponds with companies found in Series I such as the Boston and Maine and Eastern Railroads; however, Series I contains primary source material while Series VIII contains secondary material. It is recommended to examine the contents of series VIII carefully to find any additional material. Box 67 contains many original oversize photographs of different Locomotive Works. Photographs were taken by N.L. Stebbins, Freeman W. Smith, Walter A. Porter, Walter R. Fogg, J.W. Black, M.F. King, and William T. Clark.
