It was called the "Little Giant" because the tonnage it hauled was well out of proportion to its size - it served steel mills and carried not only finished steel product but also coal, ores, limestone and ingots. Formed in 1873, it was at varying times controlled by the New York Central, Penn Central and Conrail. It became independent after Conrail was broken up between CSX and Norfolk Southern, although it operated as a separate entity. CSX gained control of the P&LE in 1993.  For auction is an employee "Time Book" for a track crew working on the railroad's Eastern Division, during June 1912 . The crew consisted of a foreman and 12 laborers. The work day was 10 hours. This book records the days and hours worked, pay rates, the work done on days of the month, and a summary of work done during the month.  The book measures appx 8 x 5 1/4 inches closed, 10 1/2 x 8 inches opened, and contains 28 pages. Not all pages have entries. The cover is a mid-weight cardstock, and the content pages are a lower-grade kraft paperstock. This book is in good condition, considering it was a document used in the field and is over 110 years old. All writing/markings are from its use. The right-top corner is torn away, and one page has a small gap-tear.  A nice collectible for any P&LE railfan.
