The actual documents are not, in most cases, available online, only this description of them. Tax exemption correspondence, constitutions, tracts, membership application of the REA, an organization created by railroad workers for fellowship and evangelism. Only a very few items in this collection. They describe the structure of the organization, a little bit about its purpose.
Tracts give the testimonies of some of the members.
There are no restrictions on the use of this collection. The Railroad Evangelistic Association, formed in 1941, grew out of the work of L. S. Harkey. After a couple of years of effort, the REA was formally organized at a meeting in Sanford, FL, in January 1941. The Railroad Evangelist , with Harkey continuing as editor, became the official magazine of the group. Herman Rose, an Indiana realtor and train buff, soon became an important member of the group and for most of the REA's existance was its secretary-treasurer and editor of the magazine.
