The Great Search-Finding Railroad Employment Records

The Newberry Library - Pullman Employee Records

The employee records of the Pullman Company at the Newberry are primarily for operating company workers–porters, maids, commissary attendants, conductors, shop workers, yard force workers, clerks, managers–not manufacturing or town employees. Although some 19th-century personnel records are available, the bulk of the records are post-1920.
