A life time as an Trav. Auditor with Canadian Pacific Railway, I have about 300 passes from all over Us Rail, Steam Ships Lines, Canadian Railways, they starst in 1906 to 1943.
I found them in an old garage I was tearing down, I asked the owner what to do with them, you can have them, I am not intersested in them, thatch about 40 years ago. As you se on the picture there is a small hole in them, but as for mig selv, bieng old and love Stem Trains, I was happy to take them down and sat them in press for several weeks and they are all nice and flat. There are signatures of Sir Thomas G Shauhnessy, Andrew McCulloch, the brilliant engeniner there directed the construction of the Kettle Valley Railway, the book, "McCulloch's Wonder', is good reading, there are others whish has singned the passes, Marpole, etc. The colection is of one man life in the rail life, thru WW 1 , and far into the WW2, to me the hole in the passes are as I say. A hole life in Railroding.
very cool ... we wait to see your full collection...
