SOUVENIR OF
OLD RAILROADING

BaggagCman John II. Wight of the
Gardiner station of the Maine Cen
trail Railroad. has an interesting
memento of the old days of railroad
ing. in the form of a passenger tariff
rate book, which belonged to his
father, Warren ". Wight. who was
for many years q conductor in the
employ Of the road The book was
issued August /, 1874 and is well
preserved. At this time A. T. Morrill,
was the president. L. l.. Lincoln the
superintendent and +. L. Boothby the
general passenger agent. IN those
days the engines were mostly wood
burners and had hugh inverted ben
shaped smoke stacks. The brakng
was all done by hand and the old
fashioned coupling links and pins
used. The cars We're heated by
stoves and lighted with kerosene or
sperm oil lamps. The service from
the Gardiner station was consider
ably less than one half what il is at
the present time The pay of the
railroad employees ranged from s35
to $50 per month and payment of
wages was made monthly instead of
weekly as at present
AS far as railroads were concerned
those. as well as the present DAYS
were ones of high prices for fares.
We are inclined to think that the
present rates excel anything pre-
viously charged. A study of the lit
tie book shows that such is not the
case and that the fares today are
lower than 1888. We give below a
few taken at random. for compari
son. It should be remembered also
that in those days there was a IS
cent rebate for tickets purchased at
the various ticket Offices along the
line. and this amount should be de-

rate was lower than the present one,
and that is the fare to Boston. The
old rate was $500 and the present
rate is $685.. The cause of this was
the active competition of the Boston

this time were in the heyday OF their
glory, and this competition the rail-
