Hello,

 

I am brand new to this list so I hope it's okay to post this message to this
topic.  I had HO scale trains as a kid but I don't know much about railroads
in general so bear with me.  

 

My great-grandfather was a lifelong employee of CB&Q RR, from about 1910
until he died in 1945.  He was a telegraph operator and depot agent at
Crete, Nebraska for most of those years.  So my question is, does anyone
know of any publications that might list employees of CB&Q.  Dave Lotz (in
an off-list message) mentioned to me that employee records were not kept
after the BN merger, but are there other places to look?  For example, I
found a reference to the below listed book on Google, but I don't really
understand what the title means:

 

A Catalog of Burlington & Missouri River Rr & C.B. & Q. Rr Employee
Timetables in the Archives of the Nebraska State Historical Society (Railway
History Monographs) [Paperback]

 

What exactly is an "employee timetable"?  I'm asking because I'm hoping to
find any records or listings of my great-grandfather, Bonner Ward Lannom
(1891-1945).  I have seen some references to him in old issues of The
Railroad Telegrapher (two times).  I also wrote off to the RRB requesting
any information they might have.  Are there any other places I should be
looking for information about his years with the railroad?

 

Many thanks for any help you can render.

 

Seasons greetings,

Thomas Lannom

Portland, Ore.
