Scope and Content

Manual: Erie Lackawanna Railway Company. General Track Work Standards. March 1, 1966 [with revisions into 1972.] Printed pressboard covers; three prong binding with 100 pages including foldouts. Although titled as RAILWAY, in 1966 it was still RAILROAD (name was changed in April 1968). The old name and new name are found on various pages. Revision dates up to 1972 were found. Thus the actual issue date with the revised cover and contents would have been after 1968, See notes for text of the two indexes.
