Trade paperback. Zustand: Good. 152 pages. Illustrations. Maps. Notes. Ten-Year Index. Cover has some wear and soiling. The Editor was with the Smithsonian Institution. The Railway & Locomotive Historical Society, Inc., founded in 1921, is the oldest organization in North America devoted to railroad history, and among the first anywhere to pursue formal studies in the history of technology. The Society promotes research and encourages preservation of documentation and photography of business history, finance, labor history, and biography as well as technology. In this issue are articles on "The Ogdensburgh Connection: A Failed Dream in Northern New York" and "The Generals Up In Wall Street" Ray Stannard Baker and the Railroads". This issue also includes a brief (half page) review of Sanford's "A Pictorial History of Railroading in British Columbia". Railroad history has many facets--corporate development, finance, engineering, public policy, biography and labor history, to name just a few. It has close ties to business history and the history of technology and industrial archeology. Railroad history is partly the evocation of a romantic nostalgia, partly the precise enumeration of locomotive specifications. It is the "far" history of the John Bull, Norris 4-4-0s, and William H. Vanderbilt; the "near" history of gas turbine locomotives, Baldwin "centipedes," and Norfolk Southern's 21st century steam program. Whatever the particular subject, railroad history is unquestionably significant. It is also perishable. Memories fade; documents are destroyed; physical properties disappear; corporate structures disintegrate. The role of the Railway & Locomotive Historical Society has since 1921 been and will continue to be to preserve, promulgate, and interpret the accomplishments of railroad transportation through history.

The Society for the History of Technology, or SHOT, is the primary professional society for historians of technology. SHOT was founded in 1958 in the United States, and it has since become an international society with members "from some thirty-five countries throughout the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa." SHOT owes its existence largely to the efforts of Professor Melvin Kranzberg (1917-1995). SHOT's flagship publication is the journal Technology and Culture, published by the Johns Hopkins University Press. The Society for the History of Technology is dedicated to the historical study of technology and its relations with politics, economic, labor, business, the environment, public policy, science, and the arts. The society now numbers around 1500 members, and holds its meeting at a non-North-American venue every third year. SHOT also sponsors smaller conferences focused on specialized topics, often jointly with other scholarly societies and organizations. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus.…
