1 Index & Catalog of Newspaper Articles Related to Railroads and Transportation in Central from microfilm located at the, Public Library List of the newspapers in this index: [] [] Fergus County News [] [Hobson] Judith Gap Journal [Judith Gap] Daily News [] [] News Argus [] The Stanford World [Stanford] Compiled by Dale Jones Compilation by Dale Jones 2012 [1]

2 LEWISTOWN NEWSPAPER INDEX - Newspaper Index created for printing in June 2012 The index of the newspaper articles I have collected are from the library's microfilm collection. It must be noted that this is in no way meant to be a comprehensive index; only what I found interesting for a future book. The titles are just the general scope of the article - not specific headlines. To purchase a copy of these articles see for the ordering instructions and payment options. The prices are $5.00 minimum with each page $1.00 each, up to 10 pages so, for the minimum order you get five pages, then $1.00 more for each article up to ten. From 10 to 20 articles the cost is.75 cents a page. EXAMPLE: 8 articles = $8.00 [$5.00 minimum + $3.00] 12 articles = $11.50 [$ for two articles at.75 each] For orders over 20 pages, please me at rrofmt@hotmail.com. After receiving payment, you will be ed a.pdf file of the articles. Since the information is printed from the microfilm, some of the copies are not the best, since the originals were not the best, generally everything is legible, but then some of the articles are challenging to read. Whatever the case, there is some fantastic information for anyone interested in Central transportation history. Just looking at the index is fascinating - take a look! I have organized the index with related articles under these general headings; BA&P - CB&Q - General Great Northern Railway & Milwaukee Road [there may be info from both RR's] RR & Others [this is the actual " Railroad" - the "Jawbone!"] A Comprehensive Index Organized by Date from 1891 to 1980 Item # RR Month Day Year Headline Newspaper Source 266 BA&P December BA&P Will Electrify Road-Misc.
