Nickel Plate Railroad Collections at Cleveland State: Special Collections holds several collections about the Nickel Plate Railroad, consisting of files, drawings and images of the railroad, especially as it passes through Cleveland. There is a general Nickel Plate Collection containing some small panoramic negatives of Nickel Plate views and many boxes of Nickel Plate drawings. Two photo albums documenting the grade elimination project along the Nickel Plate right-of-way in the area have been made into a web site Cleveland Ohio Along the Nickel Plate Road In addition, the North American Railway Foundation was generous enough to underwrite the purchase of two other collections of Nickel Plate photographic negatives, one being from the company's publicity department and the other from the personal collection of the late Mr. John A. Rehor, author of The Nickel Plate Story. While most of the material in the Nickel Plate Collections is unprocessed at the moment, a grant from the NARF is funding preliminary work on these collections (and on the Newburgh & South Shore Collection). *Nickel Plate Road is a registered trademark of the Nickel Plate Road Historical & Technical Society, Inc. | |
