General Notes

Note

Notes: Transportation passes for employees, current and retired, and their families were traditional and, although not stated, probably an entitlement as part of union agreements / contracts with the railroad. Apparently issued, but inkstamped at some later time. See archives 2013.005.0197 and .0198 for other passes, issued later, but with one also having the same SAMPLE inkstamp. Others in those records marked cancelled. It can be speculated that the SAMPLE inkstamp was a convenient way to mark expired passes as cancelled. ==== transportation / ticket / pass Status: OK Status By: dw Status Date: 2013-08-06
