Welcome to the NEW Internet home of the once late and great Wabash Railroad company.  

You will notice that I have added a small copyright statement to each photo because there are a few eBay dealers who download a photo from the Internet, print it out on their printer and sell the print on eBay.  I have also removed personal names from these pages and added them to the jpgs.  Over time, I will be re-doing all images, brightening them and making them larger because our new web host has provided much more web space for this web site.

Important note: some of the images posted on this web site were found on the Internet or are from photographs or color slides in my collection where the photographer is not known.  If you see a problem with this or note a copyright violation, please contact me immediately and I will remove the suspect image(s).

Also, the images made from color slides on this site are not scans but are digital color slide copies made with a Nikon Coolpix 880 digital camera with color slide copier adapter.

We do not have any Wabash Railroad Employment Records:

We do not have any employment records or information.  If you are seeking information about a person, you can check to see if there is a record for the person at the Railroad Retirement Board.  The address is:

This organization has a web page that goes into the details of ordering these records for genealogical research at the Railroad Retirement Board.   These records only date from about the mid-1930s.

You might also check the Norfolk Southern web site but I would not expect to find anything.  Corporations are not in the genealogy business and are only required to maintain former employment records for seven years.

However, if you have a question about where railroads ran and when, I have a collection of Official Railway Guides, time tables and maps and will be happy to try to answer your questions.  I, too, have an interest in genealogy.
