Front and back of the helper crew's bulletin board from the Beverly depot.


Allen says, "This is one of the items in my collection that I can date pretty accurately. The "c/o Supt. Moll" is referring to Alexander Henry Moll, who was superintendent of the Columbia Division at Malden from November 1, 1909 until December, 1910. He later ended up as a chief dispatcher on the Frisco. His father was Justus B. Moll, General Roadmaster of the C.M.& St.P. in Chicago."
