Nickel Plate Employee Magazines

The Nickel Plate Road published an employee magazine, either monthly or bi-monthly, from April of 1948 until the merger with the N&W in October of 1964. You will find on this page reproductions of some of the more interesting articles found in those magazines. The articles represent some of the more historically significant events in the life of the New York, Chicago, & St. Louis Railroad Company. This will be an ongoing project, and more articles will be added as time goes on.
