    About this ebook

    The history of a railroad includes the personal histories of the individuals who worked for it. In 1880 the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad in Topeka, Kansas employed executives, clerks, yard superintendents, conductors, supervisors, etc. Most of the people who worked for the railroad came from New England, New York, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. Others moved to Topeka from Ohio and Illinois in the Midwest. Several came directly from England and Scotland. The story of the A.T.& S.F.R.R.in Topeka follows in line with the trek of U.S. migration from east to west. I have utilized ancestral records which will assist individuals working on their own genealogy projects. Readers can use the research I have done to complete their own projects on family trees, Kansas and railroad history, etc. I have supplemented the directory with historic photos which should provide more of a feel of what it was like to live in Topeka in the late 19th century. Railroads have left a deep imprint on the history of the United States as a nation.

      1880 Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad Directory Topeka, Kansas - Robert Grey Reynolds, Jr

      1880 Atchison,

      Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad

      Directory Topeka, Kansas

      Robert Grey Reynolds Jr.

      Smashwords Edition 2013

      I have supplemented the list of employees of the Atchison,Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad by adding as much biographical information as I could find. I have utilized United States Census records and U.S. City Directories of Topeka, Kansas, both before and after 1880. I hope that readers will find this useful. The 1880 A.T. & S.F.R.R. Directory can be utilized in several ways. For a railroad aficionado the names, titles, and job descriptions of workers will be useful by themselves. For persons compiling family ancestry the directory can be a springboard to additional research. I have included biographical facts for many employees. This info will be useful to ancestry buffs. It will help them to limit the time that they spend doing their own searching. I have also added historical images of streets and buildings in Topeka. Hopefully these photos will create a sense of what it was like to live there in the late 19th century.
