Title: |
Atlanta, Birmingham & Atlantic Railroad Company circular #1491 announcing Agent-Operator vacancy |
Description: |
Issued at Superintendent C. E. Brower's office in Fitzgerald, Georgia. The railroad had reached Lineville only 9 years earlier, in 1907. My grandfather later bid on the Lineville agency (in the 1930's) and held the Supervisory Agent-Operator position for over 40 years. Several Western Division agencies were staffed by Supervisory Agents who could NOT be rolled off their jobs by men with seniority. Supervisory Agents were a hybrid position between management and normal rank and file agency positions. |

Description: |
Sections of the Lineville Subdivision began to receive CTC in the mid 1950's, however, the entire subdivision wasn't CTC controlled until May 1, 1966 as evidenced by this train order. My grandfather, H. R. Feltman, copied this train order and issued it to the Lineville - Birmingham northbound daily local train #508. At this time, train orders on the Lineville Subdivision were issued over the initials of "RLL", Superintendent R. L. Lightfoot who was based in Manchester, Georgia. |
