DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Expand/CollapseROBERT IRVING FARRINGTON FILES

Scope and Content: Correspondence and miscellaneous papers contain letters received, copies of letters sent, and miscellaneous printed materials and memoranda used by Farrington as Comptroller, Second Vice President and Vice President of Great Northern. The majority of the papers date between 1905 and 1912.

The files contain the documentation for the financial operation of Great Northern and its subsidiary companies, in many of which Farrington held corporate offices. Files on mining, economic development, and railway construction abound. Special note should be made of very voluminous files on the Association of American Railway Accounting Officers and on the Interstate Commerce Commission.


Arrangement: Sometime during the 1940s these files were processed by the Great Northern Comptroller's Office and given new numbers according to an alphabetical sequence. How much material was weeded at this time is not known, though little material seems to be missing. No index or accompanying Farrington letterpress books have been found. However, the files do contain references to a set of Farrington letterbooks. The correspondence is grouped into 543 numbered subject files, each arranged in reverse chronological order.

Expand/CollapseEDWARD TATTNALL NICHOLS FILES

The Edward Tattnall Nichols subject files contain letters received and copies of letters sent by Nichols as Secretary of the St. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba Railway and as Secretary, Treasurer, and Third Vice President of Great Northern. Dating mainly between 1880 and 1912, the correspondence is grouped into 530 numbered files. Within each file the letters are chronological.

The genealogy of these records is not entirely clear. After Nichols' departure from the active service of the railway in 1912, the files remained in his New York Office for some time. Later they were transferred to the records storage areas in St. Paul. Sometime during the 1940s they were weeded and renumbered into a semi-alphabetical series by the Great Northern Comptroller's office. How extensive a weeding was done is not known, though most of the files appear complete.

These files concern the financial affairs of the Manitoba and Great Northern companies and their branch lines. Stock and bond records are especially voluminous. Especially significant are files relating to branch lines and subsidiary companies. Often, Nichols was a corporate officer of these companies. When using this inventory the researcher should be cautioned to note that records relating to several railroad companies may be found in more than one file but that the railroad has not been repeated in each title. This situation applies to the following cases: Eastern Railway Company of Minnesota: files 60-77; Great Northern Railway: files 104-162; Minneapolis Union Railway: files 214-222; Montana Central Railway: files 230-249; Northern Pacific, Great Northern, and Chicago, Burlington & Quincy joint bonds: files 262-269; Northern Pacific Railway: files 270-273; St. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba Railway: files 317-440; Spokane Falls & Northern Railway: files 468-478; and Spokane, Portland & Seattle Railway: files 479-492.

The following persons appear as authors throughout the series: Adolphus H. Bode, James Jerome Hill, Robert Irving Farrington, William Pitt Clough, John S. Kennedy, Richard A. Jackson, Richard B. Angus, and Reuben Barney Galusha.

Expand/CollapseV. P. TURNBURKE SUBJECT FILES, S1-S626

Biographical Note: Vernon P. Turnburke began his Great Northern career in 1917 as a statistician and in 1925 he became General Auditor, a position he held until 1942. In that year he became Assistant to the President, and in 1946 he was promoted to Vice President, Executive Department, where he remained until retiring in 1957.

Turnburke's personal subject files (including correspondence, memoranda, printed matter, statistical accounting data, and reports) emanate largely from his service as General Auditor, although some might reflect his work as the company's statistician.


Scope/Contents Note: The files contain a wealth of statistical information on company operations and financing, as well as some regarding other roads, and also a good deal of background information concerning the planning and gathering of statistical data.

There is much information on various Great Northern accounts, especially statistical analyses of particular accounts. The files also document accounting department methods and procedural modifications. Many files are concerned with regulatory demands, especially those of the Interstate Commerce Commission [ICC]. There is a large amount of background information on rate increase and service change applications. Many files deal with particular ICC dockets.

Much of the statistical data concerns comparisons of Great Northern performance in various areas with that of other roads. There is also a large group of files providing statistical and other data on the economics of the proposed consolidation of Great Northern, Northern Pacific, and the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroads during the 1920s.


Arrangement: The files are listed numerically.

Expand/CollapseABSTRACTS OF CASH VOUCHERS

The series of cash voucher abstracts (53 microfilm reels) itemize vouchers prepared to control and document the company's cash transactions, that is, transactions itemized in the general cash books of the corporation. The 1890-1915 period - the first 25 years of the Great Northern's existence - are significant because it was a time during which the company was rapidly building new lines and greatly expanding its business.

A voucher was prepared in response to every invoice received from a creditor. The voucher documented the company's obligation to pay a debt, and it was presented to appropriate officials for approval before payment was made. Vouchers prepared in a given month were numbered in a sequence beginning with "1." The abstract itemizes the vouchers in sequential (numerical) order. Therefore the abstracts of vouchers provide a record of all outstanding current cash liabilities of the company on any given date. They also indicate how each vouchered transaction was posted to the general ledger.

As the series title suggests, each volume abstracts its entries according to the type of account(s) to which it was posted in the general ledger. Each set of facing pages contains a number of columns listing principal ledger accounts grouped by general expense categories: operating expenses, sundry accounts, clearing accounts, revenue accounts, supplies, shop expenses, store expenses, additions and betterments, freight sales, outside operations, and miscellaneous accounts. This abstracting provides at least a general idea of the nature of each expense recorded in the volume. Each entry also notes the date the voucher was audited, the date it was sent on to the treasurer for final approval, and the date the expense was finally paid.

Since each microfilm frame contains a single page, the user will often have to view two frames to take in the full record documenting any single voucher. Each line on every page is numbered, which makes it fairly easy to track an entry across two succeeding pages.

Expand/CollapseABSTRACTS OF JOURNAL VOUCHERS

This series of journal voucher abstracts (25 microfilm reels) itemize vouchers prepared to control and document the company's journalized transactions, that is, transactions itemized in the general journals of the corporation. The 1890-1915 period - the first 25 years of the Great Northern's existence - are significant because it was a time during which the company was rapidly building new lines and greatly expanding its business. Volume 1 (Reel 1) also includes separate sections recording vouchers (April-July 1890) of two large subsidiaries of the Great Northern: the Eastern Railway Company of Minnesota and the Montana Central Railway Company. See the Branch Line notebooks for additional records of these two companies.

A voucher was prepared in response to every invoice received from a creditor. The voucher documented the company's obligation to pay a debt, and it was presented to appropriate officials for approval before payment was made. Vouchers prepared in a given month were numbered in a sequence beginning with "1." The abstract itemizes the vouchers in sequential (numerical) order. Therefore the abstracts of vouchers provide a record of all outstanding current liabilities of the company on any given date. They also indicate how each vouchered transaction was posted to the general ledger.

As the series title suggests, each volume abstracts its entries according to the type of account(s) to which it was posted in the general ledger. Each set of facing pages contains a number of columns listing principal ledger accounts grouped by general expense categories: operating expenses, investment accounts, clearing accounts, payroll, stock of supplies, station agents, operating revenue, bills, and miscellaneous accounts. This abstracting provides at least a general idea of the nature of each expense recorded in the volume. Each entry also notes the date the voucher was audited, the date it was sent on to the treasurer for final approval, and the date the expense was finally paid.

Since each microfilm frame contains a single page, the user will often have to view two frames to take in the full record documenting any single voucher. Each line on every page is numbered, which makes it fairly easy to track an entry across two succeeding pages.

Expand/CollapseABSTRACTS OF VARIOUS PERSONS BILLS

This series of various persons bills abstracts (24 microfilm reels) itemize the railway's bills against other companies and individuals. The 1890-1915 period - the first 25 years of the Great Northern's existence - is significant because it was a time during which the company was rapidly building new lines and greatly expanding its business.

After each invoice against another person or company was prepared, it was recorded in the abstract, along with other explanatory and accounting information about the transaction. Bills prepared in a given month were numbered in a sequence beginning with "1." The abstract itemizes the bills in sequential (numerical) order. Therefore the abstracts of bills provide a record of all outstanding current accounts due to the company on any given date. They also indicate how each bill was posted to the general ledger.

As the series title suggests, each volume abstracts its entries according to the type of account(s) to which it was posted in the general ledger. Each set of facing pages contains a number of columns listing principal ledger accounts grouped by general categories: operating expenses, open accounts, current accounts, revenue accounts, stock of supplies, and miscellaneous. This abstracting provides at least a general idea of the nature of each invoice recorded in the volume. Each entry also notes the date the bill was audited by the comptroller, the name and address of the debtor, and the reason for the bill.

Since each microfilm frame contains a single page, the user will often have to view two frames to take in the full record documenting any single bill. Each line on every page is numbered, which makes it fairly easy to track an entry across two succeeding pages.

Expand/CollapseABSTRACTS OF CHARGES TO LINE CONSTRUCTION

This series of records itemizes all the expenditures made by the Great Northern, through 1928, in constructing its railway lines and those of its principal subsidiaries. Most of the entries document work done in North Dakota, Montana, and Washington, although construction in other states is also recorded. The series of 24 volumes provides an extremely detailed record of the costs incurred and materials used in constructing each line segment, as well as a rough diary of construction progress.

The first 21 volumes record expenditures relating directly to the construction of trackage and attendant structures and facilities. The remaining three volumes record only expenditures made in constructing side tracks and appurtenant structures. Each volume is organized into geographic sections, each one usually relating to work on a particular division or branch line. The volume list that follows this description itemizes the sections within each volume in the order in which they appear on the microfilm. Each of these sections is, in turn, often subdivided into shorter line sections. Within such sections, transactions are recorded more or less chronologically. Each entry notes the date and number of the voucher authorizing the expenditure, and gives a brief textual summary of the work involved, often including an itemization of the materials expended in performing the work. The dollar expenditures involved in the transaction are then distributed according to the relevant ledger accounts.

Although the number of account columns varies a little from volume to volume, they typically include the following construction expenditure accounts: right of way; real estate; engineering; clearing and grubbing; grading; masonry; bridges and culverts; cattle guards, road crossings, and track signs; ties; rails; rail fastenings; frogs, switches, and miscellaneous track material; track laying; ballasting; surface filling and lining track; transportation department buildings; road department buildings; roundhouses and shops; fuel and water stations; grain elevators, coal bunkers, and stockyards; other buildings and structures; fences; telegraph; shop tools and machinery; protection against snow and ice; locomotive and car service; general expenses; docks, wharves, landings, and inclines. In many of the volumes the columns of data extend across two facing pages, which means that the user will often need to view two succeeding frames on the microfilm to find all the data pertaining to a particular transaction. Since the lines on each page are numbered, tracing a transaction across two frames is fairly straightforward, if a little awkward.

Volumes 22-24 record only expenditures relating to "side tracks and structures." They do not distribute the dollar amounts by the many accounts noted above. Rather they contain a brief description of the transaction, and distribute the expenditure according to "labor" and "material" charges. The format of the volumes is therefore simpler and all data pertaining to any given transaction is contained on a single page.

The container list summarizes the contents of each volume and indicates the order of the volumes on the microfilm. The list indicates the major line sections into which the volume is divided.

Expand/CollapseCONSTRUCTION DETAIL LEDGERS

This series of accounting records documents the costs incurred in several large line construction projects in Washington, Montana, and Oregon that were undertaken long after the original Great Northern line had been built. The construction projects documented are the Scobey Extension in northeastern Montana (Volume 1); the Saco-Turner Line in north central Montana (Volume 2); the southern extension running from Bend, Oregon to Bieber, California (Volumes 3 and 4); the Chumstick Line located in Washington between the Columbia River and the Cascade Tunnel (Volumes 5-8); the Cascade Tunnel (Volumes 9-15); and the Fourth Street Office Building in Seattle (Volume 16). The latter volume documents the construction of the Great Northern regional headquarters building.


Arrangement: The volumes are arranged by construction project. The information in each volume is organized by the construction account to which it was charged. Although the accounts to which expenses were charged varied with time and place, the following are representative: engineering; land; grading; tracklaying and surfacing; ties; rails; other track materials; ballast; bridges, trestles, and culverts; tunnels and subways; fences; signs and crossings; buildings; telegraph and telephone lines; signals and interlockers; power transmission systems; roadway machines; revenue and operating expenses; legal expenses; taxes; and other supply and material charges.

Each entry in the volumes typically includes the month and year of the expenditure, the number of the voucher covering the expense, the name of the creditor, a brief description of the expense, and the dollar amount.

Expand/CollapseOPERATING EXPENSE STATEMENTS

The records consist largely of monthly statements summarizing the monthly operating expenses of the railway. They are augmented by related records summarizing some of the same expense information, for the 1890-1927 period, in somewhat different ways. All of the records were prepared by the accounting department to provide detailed breakdowns of the company expenses that could be charged to operations and maintenance.

The statements consist of data (either handwritten or printed) recorded on printed forms. The size and layout of the form changed frequently, so the appearance of the records on the microfilm will change, sometimes markedly, from time to time. The information being recorded, however, remains virtually the same through all the format changes.


Arrangement: The forms are arranged chronologically on the microfilm. The form(s) for each month records all charges on the Great Northern general books made to operating expenses during that month, grouped into several large categories: station service, yard service, engine service, train service, casualties (property and persons), miscellaneous, maintenance of equipment, maintenance of way and structures, traffic expenses, and general expenses. Each of these general categories is itself divided into a number of specific expense items. The number of specific expense items that were tracked increased over the years, with more than 180 being recorded on forms during the 1940s.

Each of these expense lines on the form records the dollar amount spent on that activity. That total amount is then subdivided by operating division and district. Each form contains a number of columns corresponding to the several operating divisions of the railway. These divisions are mainly geographical, but some coincide with subsidiary companies. Each entry on the forms is also divided into separate passenger and freight columns to further specify the expenditures. The monthly statements for a given year are often accompanied by annual (and, occasionally, semiannual) summary statements.

Expand/CollapsePERFORMANCE OF LOCOMOTIVE RECORDS

The materials in this microfilm edition comprise the Great Northern Railway accounting office's monthly compilations of statistical data regarding the efficiency of the locomotives in the company's active roster. This substantial body of data give a detailed indication of how well classes of engines (1940-1948), or individual locomotives (1887-1901), were performing. The series consists of two segments separated by hiatus of nearly 40 years, during which the nature of the record changed notably in both form and content.


Expand/Collapse1887-1901

The 1887-1901 segment was recorded on oversize blueprint pages bound into six large volumes. The sequence of volumes is organized by operating (largely geographical) divisions. There are several divisions within each volume. Within each division the records are organized by date, with all the pages arranged in reverse chronological order. Each page comprises a record for one month, and organizes the information by individual locomotive, arranging them in numerical order. The data for each locomotive are arranged in columns across the page, as follows: engine number; cylinder size; engineer's name; mileage during the month (by type: passenger, freight, mixed, work, switching, and total); repair costs (labor, materials, and total); fuel consumed (wood quantity, coal quantity, and cost); wages paid to engine crew; stores consumed (illuminating, valve, and engine oils; pounds of waste; and cost of stores); total engine expense; miles run per: ton of coal, pint of valve oil, and pint of engine oil; pounds of coal consumed to haul 100 tons one mile; cost per mile run (repairs, fuel, wages, stores, and total); and miscellaneous remarks. In addition, footing figures on each page aggregate mileage and cost figures for all the engines enumerated on the page.

Expand/Collapse1940-1948

The 1940-1948 segment was recorded on typed, unbound forms. Unlike the earlier segment, these forms are arranged first by year, and thereunder by month (again, in reverse chronological order). Within the section for a given month, there is a separate page for each operating division, and the information on each page is arranged by engine class. Although the type of information is the same as for the earlier segment, there are many fewer categories and information is more aggregated. Information is not analyzed by individual locomotive but, rather, by class of locomotive. Data categories for each class are: mileage (by type); repair costs (labor and material costs not segregated, but a category for "wrecks" added); miles run per: ton of coal, pint of valve oil, and pint of engine oil; pounds of coal consumed per 1,000 gross-ton-miles hauled; and costs per mile run (fuel, repairs, engine house costs, lubricants, and supplies). There are no footings aggregating these data on a monthly basis, but the group of forms for each year includes a series of sheets aggregating the data for all divisions for the entire year. These recapitulations are filed at the beginning of each year's sequence.

The LeRoi Mining Company was incorporated in England in 1898. It owned and developed mining property near Rossland, British Columbia. Great Northern and its subsidiary, Red Mountain Railway Company, received revenue from the transportation of ore from the mine. In 1905 Great Northern bought stock in the Company hoping to prevent efforts by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company from acquiring complete control of LeRoi Mining and therefore diverting ore traffic away from Great Northern. Canadian Pacific, however acquired controlling interest.
