G.Stewart Hoagland collection of railroadiana, 1887-1939 (bulk, 1936-1939).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/123466329

This assortment of railroadiana was collected by Hoagland as a teenager in the late 1930s, most of it through railroad fan trips being sponsored by the railroad companies, railroad clubs, and Railroad Magazine. All of the excursions operated out of New York City. The material connected with these trips include notices, schedules, itinerary booklets, posters, ticket stubs, and other souvenirs. Hoagland also used the trips to obtain timetables and samples of form 19 and 31 train orders from railroad employees.
