Poor's Manual of the Railroad

Today, known as the S&P 500, Standard and Poors traces its history back to 1860, with the publication by Henry Varnum Poor of History of Railroads and Canals in the United States. This book compiled comprehensive information about the financial and operational state of U.S. railroad companies. In 1868, Henry Varnum Poor established H.V. and H.W. Poor Co. with his son, Henry William Poor, and published two annually updated hardback guidebooks, Poor's Manual of the Railroads of the United States and Poor's Directory of Railway Officials.

Henry Varnum Poor started the publication to account the financial and operational details of US railroad companies, which was the largest industry in the US at that time.  This collection of 24 volumes is meant to give any railroad historian or enthusiast a full picture of the railroad industry at that time.  Each volume provides some basic information on each railroad company, its history, its costs, its stocks and bonds, milage achieved, location, and even its rolling stock inventory.

This collection on DVD contains 24 Volumes, all in PDF format. 

Please note that this collection contains scans of old books, some of which were in poor condition before being rescued and digitized for posterity.  This means that you may see some pages with creases and tears that show up in the scans.
