Records, 1859-1976.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/86123691

The records of P-RSL consist of basic corporate documents, including minute books, annual reports, and the registered document file. The last includes charters, incorporation papers, merger agreements, surveys, equipment and service contracts and documents filed with regulatory agencies covering abandonments of facilities and services. Of particular note are the papers connected with the 1933 merger plan, which include analysis of service levels and maps showing the consolidation and elimination of track and structures. The records document the basic history of the company but do not include records of any of the operating departments.
