[or-roots] SP&S Railroad

The papers I received from the Railroad Ritirement Board for my grandfather 
included copies of his application for a job, monthly wages, monthly records of 
days worked or not worked, positions held and when/where. A copy of his 
request for retirement and various other great information on his entire railroad 
career.

You would likely find everything you want to know about his "local" career if 
they have his retirement papers. It didn't take very long for me to receive 
the information - possibly 3-4 weeks after writing a letter to the Board 
requesting it, and I didn't even have his employee # or SSN (which they prefer as 
they are filed by SSN). It has been a few years since I sent for them so am not 
sure just how long it took to receive them.

          Just now getting back to some emails back about 13 Sept. Trying to 
get an email address for the SP&S Railroad Historical Society in Vancouver, 
Wash. Tried my best with no success. Have been getting emails that show you or 
your group seem to know almost everything so thought I'd try you again. Still 
doing the genealogy research on my deceased Father in Law who was a long time 
SP&S employee. Looking for more local information about his employment on the 
SP&S line from Astoria to Linnton before I go to the U.S. Railroad Retirement 
Board, where they should have information on his employment dates, etc. 
         Thanks,                       Bernie Verbout
