This collection consists of records from the Erie-Lackawanna Railroad Company. The majority of the records pre-date the founding of the EL, and as such offer more information on the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Company and the Erie Railroad. Of particular interest are the numerous personnel directories for both railroad companies, which contain the names of employees, their positions, their addresses and telephone numbers. Guides to stations served by both railroad systems provide a comprehensive view of the regions served by both railroads. Additionally, the annual reports include promotional pictures, some of which document damage to the systems, locomotives used by both systems, and company headquarters.



There is also documentation concerning the regulation of the railroad industry during World War II by the War Manpower Commission. Additionally, there are records addressing general regulations on the railroads in areas such as wages and interstate commerce. Finally, there are records of meetings with the United States Railroad Labor Boards regarding the national agreements regarding rules and working conditions.
