Nickel Plate Employee Magazines

In 1938 The Chesapeake & Ohio began including the Nickel Plate in their employee magazine, the Chesapeake and Ohio Lines Magazine, which also included the Pere Marquette. In 1944 the magazine name was changed to Tracks. The Nickel Plate Road then published their own employee magazine, either monthly or bi-monthly, from April of 1948 until the merger with the N&W in October of 1964. You will find on this page reproductions of some of the more interesting articles found in those magazines. The articles represent some of the more historically significant events in the life of the New York, Chicago, & St. Louis Railroad Company.

Also included are indexes of the contents of all Lines, Tracks, and the Nickel Plate Road Magazines.
