About This Item
Boston: H.G. Collins, 1891. Good plus.. 68,[1];78,[1]pp. 12mo. Original pebbled cloth, printed labels. Light wear and soiling to cloth, front hinge separating. Light toning and dust soiling internally. A late 19th-century bilingual, dos-a-dos printing of regulations for the "Transportation Department" of the Mexican Central Railway, which comprised conductors, engineers, brakemen, and other train operators. Opened in 1884 by American owners, the railroad connected Mexico City to Ciudad Juarez and to the major United States railroads of the Southwest in El Paso. The present rule book contains over 250 regulations for conductors, engineers, train masters, and others concerning the operation of Mexico Central trains. It also includes several charts, diagrams, illustrations, and other visual aids. Although the title pages announces that the rules within took effect August 15, 1889, we locate no examples of an edition from that year or any other copies of the present edition.
