Nostalgia & History > 1908 Official Railway Guide on Google BooksDate: 12/11/09 19:16 1908 Official Railway Guide on Google Books Author: jofegan Hi folks.
I found this on Google Books (if you are located in the US you can download the entire book). The scanned copy is of so-so quality, but it is very readable and offers good insight to all of the roads in 1908, the latest available issue for full download. Enjoy. jofegan http://books.google.com/books?id=4D8GBxGnDnYC&pg=PT1427#v=onepage&q=&f=false Date: 12/12/09 05:58 Re: 1908 Official Railway Guide on Google Books Author: knotch8 Thanks SO MUCH for posting this. What a great link! I love old ORGs and the problem, of course, is that the pages turn to dust as you peruse and study them. Thanks!

--the 1903 Travelers' railway guide, Western section (formerly the Rand-McNally railway ... Some 600 pages -- it was a competitor of the ORG. http://books.google.com/books?id=anEpAAAAYAAJ&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q=&f=false OR --the 1881 The Official railway guide: North American freight service edition Which if you go thru it has much if not all the passenger info in it. http://books.google.com/books?id=6I5XgcduNQYC&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q=&f=false I'd love to find more--freebies that is. There are several sellers who offer ORG's on CD'S [I ordered 5 from one of them and they're fine]. i got 5 on 1 DVD from Taplines - eBay store a year ago. These are manageable PDF's--$13 per guide or ask about multi on one DVD [best deal]. http://stores.ebay.com/Tap-Lines-Railroad-Photography?_rdc=1 Another seller is http://www.dougsrrshop.com/officialguide.htm Doug apparently offers jpgs instead of PDF's. $16 per Guide--less for multi.
