These timetables date from 1909, 1940, 1946, 1947, and 1955. Visual examples of railways can be found in several postcards from the Ohio Railway Museum in Worthington, Ohio and a collection of postcards of views of trains and stations along the Dayton, Lebanon & Cincinnati Railroad circa 1912. The collection also includes information cards for four Norfolk and Western Railway locomotives: the Streamlined Passenger Locomotive, Class J; the Switching Locomotive, Class S1a; the Simple Articulated Locomotive, Class A; and the Coal-Fired, Steam Turbine, Electric Drive Locomotive. A June 16, 1996 article from the Cincinnati Enquirer titled "Packed trolleys caused sparks to fly" provides details promoting McNeil's Life Along the Trolley Line and the scrapbooks kept by the Cincinnati Street Railway from 1901 to 1925 that he uncovered during his research. Other newspaper articles provide biographical information on McNeil. Select copies of newsletters from Cincinnati-based organizations for railroad enthusiasts that were circulated during the 1990s can also be found here. Several forms of railroad-related printed material can be found in the collection. For example, it includes information cards about Cincinnati Street Railway street cars and motor coaches and Norfolk and Western Railway locomotives. A copy of an Electric Railway article from October 1930 offers details about Cincinnati & Lake Erie's new de luxe cars, while an official railway equipment register of the United States, Canadian and Mexican Railroads dates from January 1934. The collection also includes the official guide book and program for the Chicago Railroad Fair and the "Wheels-a-Rolling" pageant, as well as a feasibility study for Cincinnati's proposed historic streetcar line from November 1990. Other examples of ephemera include a copy of an account book for the Dayton, Lebanon & Cincinnati Railroad kept by Horace Russell between 1900 and 1922. The collection concludes with a drawing of a Cincinnati and Lake Erie Railroad car from 1929, prints depicting the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway cats, "Chessie" and "Peake," together with a placard for the Cincinnati & Lake Erie Railroad that promotes its modern high-speed stream line cars, its "courteous, careful and experienced operators," its leather seats and headrests, and full view windows in the rear of the car. Two boxes of slides in the final box of the collection illustrate various scenes associated with the Cincinnati Georgetown & Portsmouth Railroad, such as the 1898 and 1913 floods in various Ohio towns, destinations along its routes, and interior and exterior views of railroad cars.
