1917 C&G/GP Annual Pass Southern Railway in Mississippi Supervisor of Scales IC
Although railroad passes could be purchased, most were given out to railroad executives, employees, family members and special guests. Generally they were partially printed on thick colored card stock paper with the name of the holder, the date of issue, and special instructions or limitations added by pen or typewriter.
Walter E. Schlinkert began his career as a Scales Apprentice working for The Yazoo & Mississippi Valley Railroad Company in 1902.
He received his last pass as a Supervisor of Scales for the Illinois Central Railroad Company in 1920.
I also have passes from his collection from about 35 different railroads and related companies like the Pullman Car Company, American Express Company, and Western Union Telegraph Company. They include passes from major lines like the Baltimore and Ohio, Pennsylvania, Southern, and St. Louis & San Francisco railroads as well as smaller roads like the Alabama Great Southern, Central Georgia, Chicago and Eastern Illinois, Indianapolis Southern, and Vandalia Railroad. There are three different passes issued by the United States Railroad Administration during World War One.
