What I have seen and do see at shows and the like are ICS manuals, fireman's questions, plus various catechisms published over the years by a number of originators.

Forney's is one name which comes to mind and another similar one was 'The Locomotive Up To Date' starting in I think the late 1890's and being reprinted and updated by the publisher over the next 3 decades. The most recently dated one of those I have seen is 1927. The Locomotive Up To Date was recently reprinted and I am sure you can find it either at a big train show like Gaithersburg, MD this coming weekend or perhaps even on-line. The originals are potentially fragile, hence the desire to preserve them and wear out the reprint. These two I have named provide probably everything one would need to know for the era about firing, operating, braking as well as breakdown and repairs. You want to know about valve gear and valve events; they have it. You want to know about the new airbrakes (remember the early dates of these things), they have that.

They have it all. I am sure there are more more recently published ones of the same concept and perhaps one of our other corespondents here can assist in that area. But I do not recall seeing any specifically dedicated to one railroad for unlike today when it's kind of one size fits all, you specified exactly what you wanted from your lot of engines and the manufacturer of the day gave you a specific price based upon the quantity ordered and the specs required.

To: 'NW Mailing List' Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset='us-ascii' Mike: I can't answer your question directly because I don't know the answer, but I do know that there were 'operator's manuals' for the LC2 electrics (and I'd have to assume for the LC1s as well.) because I have one in my possession. Someday when I've gone to my reward ('I was put on this earth to accomplish certain things, and at the rate I'm going I'll live forever!' ) it will go to the N&WHS archives. Dave Phelps In a message dated 10/25/09 08:48:16 Eastern Daylight Time, writes: I hope this isn't a stupid question: Over the years, I've seen dozens of 'operator manuals' for diesel locomotives for sale, but I've never seen one for a N&W steam locomotive (or any steam locomotive, for that matter). Is that because there simply wasn't one?
Did you learn to become a steam locomotive engineer by serving as a fireman and then eventually 'switch seats' when you were experienced enough?

To: 'NW Mailing List' Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset='iso-8859-1' MikeInternational Correspondence School did have a fairly complete set of manuals that described how a steam locomotive and its various appliances operated. If you can find them they are a real treasure trove of information. Excellent is the only word to describe them! Years ago I approached Jim about having my set reprinted and sold through the N&WHS.
Nothing ever came of it. The C&O had a fireman's manual that is very very good. At one time it a reprint was available through the C&OHS.
There are also a couple of web sites that have manuals from the PRR & NYC. As far as I know the N&W had nothing specific to compare with any of the above, however, my set of ICS books came from an N&W engineer and I would venture a guess that the N&W may have went that route ( plus on the job training ) as far as educating their new firemen. BTW, the ICS course catalog has an illustration of a J on the cover. NYC course: I can't find the PRR right now, but, I do have it in a pdf file.
