‎[Adelaide Railway Station]‎

‎A collection of nine vintage photographs showing the construction of the Adelaide Railway Station between 1926 and 1928‎

‎Very Good. Nine vintage gelatin silver prints eight approximately 220 × 285 mm one 138 × 206 mm all but two captioned or dated on the verso. Some prints with some residue on the verso from previous mounting; two with drawing pin-holes in some corners one of them with slight surface loss near a bottom corner the other with slight loss to a top corner; some with trifling chips or creases at the extremities; overall in excellent condition. The earliest image dated June 1926 shows the site on North Terrace before the commencement of construction; two show the station platforms in October 1926 and March 1927; two show the railway yards at the approach to the station one before construction one in December 1927; and four show the progressive construction of the western southern and eastern frontages of the station dated between April 1927 and March 1928. <p>An interesting observation by Paul McGuire appeared in 'The New Triad' Volume 2 Number 7 1 July 1928: 'The Railway Department also has been showing its superiority to mere prettiness too. A magnificent station is nearing completion and the Assembly hall has already revealed itself as a splendidly conceived piece far superior to anything of its kind in Australia. The walls are scarcely finished and they are already blotted with posters dodgers and various advertising signs. The architects themselves have protested but in this case too we will be pleasureably sic surprised if the official mind sees beyond its balance sheets'. <p>We have not identified the photographer or traced these particular images in institutional collections or elsewhere but they have the appearance of official photographs by a professional. 9 items. unknown‎

‎[ALASKA -- ANCHORAGE & THE ALASKA RAILROAD ARCHIVE]. [EDES, William C (Chairman), MEARS, Frederick (Engineer), & RIGGS, Jr, Thom‎

‎An exceptional archive of 86 original silver print photographs chronicling the transformation of Anchorage Alaska Territory from the village of Ship Creek and the construction of the Seward-Anchorage railroad line by the Alaska Engineering Commission AEC. These striking images capture steamships landing dynamiting of obstructions camp construction unloading of railroad car trucks from Panama and railroad lines under construction with many featuring the sweeping Alaskan vistas in the background.‎

‎Anchorage & Seward A.T.: Alaska Engineering Commission AEC Phinney S. Hunt ca. 1916-1917. 4to. 86 silver print photographs sized 6.25 x 8.25 in. nearly all w/ photographer’s imprint w/in negative at lower fore-edge as well as caption negative number and AEC some w/ occasional pencil annotations on verso all preserved in mylar sleeves occasional creasing at corners a couple w/ slight loss at corners in the small blank margin. Recent 3-ring clamshell binder an excellent set of photos with all retaining bright strong contrast. This outstanding photo archive provides not only some of the earliest photographs of Anchorage Alaska Territory but also this immense railroad project first authorized by the US Congress in 1912. The few existing privately-run railroads operating in Alaska at the time including the Alaska Northern Railway and the Tanana Valley Railroad primarily fulfilled the needs of the mining companies carrying resources to sea ports and very little allowance was made for passenger traffic and it was impossible to travel by rail from Ship’s Creek at the Cook Inlet north to Fairbanks. Through an April 1915 executive order President Wilson directed that the newly created Alaska Engineering Commission construct a railroad along the surveyed “Western Route†from Seward or Portage Bay along the Turnagain & Knik Arms of Cook Inlet North through the Suitna Valley and then follow the Nenana River until it joined the Tanana with the intent it would connect eventually to Fairbanks. Employing discarded surplus railroad equipment from the Panama Canal Railroad project and under the direction of engineer Mears who had worked on both the Panama Canal and Great Northern Railroads the tiny tent city of Ship’s Creek swelled to 5500 people within two years and was officially labeled by the Post Office as “Anchorage.†Photos included here reveal the barren original landscape of Ship’s Creek with one of the photos showing the steam launches “Alaska†& “Seagull†who carried cargo and passengers from ships offshore. In addition there are views of the construction of the immense AEC Railway machine shop by Sept. 1916 as well as the newly completed first Railroad Depot in Anchorage with the progression of buildings erected beyond. These early views of the fast developing project portray the Commissary Hospital Bunkhouses finished machine shop interiors of the powder house for blasting along with a view of the AEC’s photo studio and the completed electrical power house. Early street views of the nascent city are quite scarce and one of particular interest shows Fourth Ave. looking East with newly built stores and homes built along both sides of the roadway stretching into the distance. Brutal working conditions continually interfered with the pace of the project with one of the images showing the AEC’s “Electric Thawing Machine†on a sled whie others depict piles of snow work camps in snow and even sternwheeler and docks trapped in an ice flow in March 1917. A couple of the photographs feature the sternwheeler SS Omineca underway which had been originally constructed in 1909 for the Grand Trunk Railway running the Skeena River from 1909-1912 and powered by the original SS Caledonia’s engines. By the end of 1916 60 miles of track had been laid 100 miles were graded and right-of-way cleared for 230 miles with photos in this archive showing AEC Construction camps at various mile markers blasting activity and track laying. At the same time they rehabilitated the bankrupt Alaska Northern Railroad tracks and by Oct. 24 1917 the first AEC Railway train reached the Chickaloon coal mines 74 miles North of Anchorage. The railroad would actually not be finished until 1923 when the Tanana River Bridge was completed and last 57 miles of track to Fairbank converted to standard gauge. Photos also show the Anchorage Baseball Field which featured games for the Cook Inlet Baseball League composed at the time of Matanuska Anchorage and Turnagain Arm teams. There’s also a very fine series of the Decoration Day parade held May 30 1917 depicting many of the main streets and businesses in the background. In addition several photographs show the ocean docks completed which allowed ships to directly dock at Anchorage rather than lightering passengers and cargo to shore prior to 1917. Hunt 1866-1917 originally worked as a California optician before trekking to Valdez Alaska as a gold rush prospector but quickly established himself as a photographer opening his studio and documenting Valdez and development of the region. He would bring his wife and children to Alaska by 1907. He later secured work as one of the AEC’s official photographers shooting some of the early survey work by 1914 and through the project until suffering a heart attack Oct. 14 1917 in Seward AK. Hunt’s son A.O. Hunt also worked as an assistant photographer for the AEC. A few of these images appear as negatives in the Alaska State Library Historical Collections with a couple shown in their Digital Archives and some appear in the Alaska Engineering Commission archive at the U of W Collect. No. PH0495 but the bulk of that collection features photographs by James McPherson H.G. Kaiser and A.J. Johnson who were the other official photographers on the project; See: Phinney S.

Also present is a September 1932 blueprint negative for a proposed Union Pacific Cafeteria building in Ketchum ID. Harriman foresaw the tremendous potential in developing a skiing destination industry for the Union Pacific during the Great Depression and after hiring Count Felix Schaffgosch to scout locations determined in January 1936 that Ketchum ID would be the ideal spot. The Union Pacific contracted the famed Los Angeles CA architect Gilbert Underwood 1890-1960 who at the time was a key member in the Federal Architecture Project established by Roosevelt during the New Deal. Underwood was well known for designing Union Pacific lodges for the National Park Service including complexes at Cedar Breaks Zion Bryce Canyon North Rim of the Grand Canyon and the famed Ahwahnee Hotel at Yosemite. He would later produce the preliminary designs for the Timberline Lodge WPA project on Mount Hood OR. The large panoramic drawing depicts the historic South elevation of the Lodge as constructed in 1936 scale of 1 in. to 20 feet. The large reproduced plans include those for The First Floor Basement and Foundation Second Floor Third Floor and Fourth Floor and Roof Plan. The blueprint negatives include floor plans framing plans kitchen ceiling designs piping kitchen pantry details the range hoods bar plans dining table details & plans and even the bakers dough table.

‎[California – Railroad History – Antitrust Law] California Producers & Shippers Association‎

‎“Opportunity Knocksâ€: A Broadside Concerning the “Unmerger†of the Southern Pacific and Union Pacific Railroads‎

‎Sacramento California 1922. 17 ½ x 24 inches. Folded small tears at folds overall excellent. In 1922 the United States Supreme Court decided United States v. Southern Pacific Company et al. declaring the Southern Pacific Company’s ownership of a controlling part—46%—of the Central Pacific Railroad’s stock in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act and requiring that this monopoly be dissolved. Offered here is a broadside produced by the Sacramento-based California Producers & Shippers Association which presents a collection of articles and editorials from area newspapers favorable to this “unmerger.â€<br /> <br /> The broadside came in response to the Southern Pacific Company’s propaganda campaign against the dissolution; the Sacramento Tribune draws the reader’s attention to:<br /> <br /> “the efforts which have recently been made by the Southern Pacific Company to deceive their employees into protesting the separation of the Southern Pacific and Central Pacific on the ground that seniority and pension rights would be disturbedâ€. August 25<br /> <br /> Several articles present a statement by P.R. Thompson chairman of the Peninsula Bureau Chamber of Commerce’s Transportation Committee who accused Southern Pacific of having “distributed a great amount of misinformation intended to becloud the issue and create oppositionâ€. Thompson called the claim that employees would lose seniority and pension rights the “Most flagrant and most apparently manufactured out of whole cloth.†Other articles note that Southern Pacific had been sending delegates to various Chambers of Commerce around the region to push resolutions against the dissolution. The Porterville Messenger writes:<br /> <br /> “Chambers of Commerce are becoming suspicious of the sleek well mannered business like gentlemen who drop into town urge a meeting of directors make their discourse and expect to depart with a resolution in their pockets. Usually the proposed resolution will bear study— carefully. Just now the Colusa Chamber of Commerce is compelled to reverse itself on the S.P.-C.P. unmerger.†August 25<br /> <br /> The Sacramento Bee described the efforts of these delegates as an “attempt to stampede public sentiment†but claimed that Company’s “flood of propaganda†had “utterly failed of its objective†September 9.<br /> <br /> Whatever the actual public sentiment may have been in 1923 the Interstate Commerce Commission ordered that the railroads be allowed to remain merged. That year the federal government—largely influenced by famously anti-labor Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty—declined to appeal a district court decision overruling the Supreme Court in favor of the ICC. We find no record of this broadside in OCLC.
