The Wabash Railroad Co.
The disclaimer:
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:
| U.S. Railroad Retirement Board Office of Public Affairs 844 North Rush Street Chicago, Illinois 60611-2092 |
This organization has a web page that goes into the details of ordering these records for genealogical research at 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 and maps and will be happy to try to answer your questions. I, too, have an interest in genealogy.
