Scope and Content

Consists of similar material about the Philadelphia & Western Railroad and its predecessors. While there are more original records, which DeGraw and his friends salvaged from the company, the greater part is composed of clippings, tear sheets and research notes assembled by DeGraw in writing his books. The original records include engineering plans and profiles of the original projected line from Philadelphia to Parkesburg and the Norristown Branch, and a single contractor's payroll from May 1905 showing the earnings of anonymous Italian laborers.
