Description:
Files from this series were generated from 1983 through 1994. Materials
include memos; notes; correspondence; lists of documents and computer
files belonging to Mitchell's staff members; reports, many from the Government
Accounting Office, the Congressional Research Service, and various railroad
companies; safety reports written by railroad inspectors; court documents;
copies of constituent mail; press releases, many of them from the Maine
Congressional Delegation; and news clippings. Almost half of the series
deals with the labor strike against Guilford Transportation Industries
that lasted from November 1987 to June 1988. Walking out primarily over
safety issues, the strikers were represented by a number of unions, principally
the United Transportation Union. The strike also affected Guilford's subsidiary
companies, Boston & Maine Corporation, Maine Central Railroad Company,
Springfield Terminal Railway Company, and the Delaware & Hudson Railway
Company. Additional files concern the 1986 strike of the Brotherhood of
Maintainence of Way Employees against the Maine Central Railroad Company,
the Portland Terminal Company, and other Guilford subsidiaries. Additional
files concern the subpoena Guilford served in 1989 against Senator Mitchell
and a legislative aide, Robert Carolla, requesting all files created by
the senator's staff concerning railroads since 1985 for a court case involving
the arbitration decision on the strike.
Other material concerns the sale of Conrail, a federally owned freight
train company, to Norfolk Southern Corporation, which also involved Guilford
and Morgan Stanley. Other subjects include a national railroad strike
in 1992 involving the Presidential Emergency Board; the Staggers Act,
concerning deregulation of the railroad industry; fees for boxcars; AMTRAK;
and Canadian rail services, particularly customs and immigration issues.
Files on customs and immigration regarding international travel are also
found in the Aviation series. Additional files on
immigration are in the Judiciary
series. Issues also concern other railroad companies including the Bangor
and Aroostook Railroad Company and the Canadian-Pacific Railroad Company,
and specific railroad development projects such as the Central Artery
Rail Link in Boston. Federal agencies and committees represented in this
series include the Interstate Commerce Commission, the Department of Transporation,
the Federal Railroad Administration, and the Senate committee on Commerce,
Science, and Transportation.
Most files were created and maintained by Robert Carolla, but some of
the early files on Conrail were created by Christine Williams. Later files,
from 1992 through 1994, were created and maintained by Sandy Brown. Some
general labor files are mixed into this series. Additional files on labor
issues and strikes exist in the Labor series and
the Aviation series.
Access Restrictions: Restricted until January 3, 2015.
