Don't know of any online searchable RR retirement data, but the RR Retirement Board has a service for genealogists. See their site at <http://www.rrb.gov/geneal.html> for how to order pensioner info.

His name was Zephaniah Polk Weaver. In about 1875 he went to work for the Rail Road, and probably there in Bedford County. He would have been about 16 years old at the time. I believe he became a Road Construction Engineer and may have worked for the Rail Road from about 1875 up to about 1920. My question is this; does anyone in Bedford, or anywhere else for that matter, have information on the Rail Road and/or its employees covering any part of the period from about 1875 to about 1920? Second question; Where can I find searchable Rail Road Pension Records and/or other employee records that might help me prove this? Thanks a lot. > >Don Weaver >[email protected] > >
