Each printbears a title, a number and the date it was taken. The printsare bound in stiff-cover albums on the loose-leaf system, andare classified and indexed by number and by subject. For in-stance, one album contains pictures of stations ; another tracks ;another rolling stock; another car houses and repair shops, andso on. The work of this department also includes reducing byphotographic process tracings, maps, drawings, etc., to smallsizes for convenient reference purposes. These reduced mapsand drawings are printed on blue-print paper and are boundin albums similar to the photographs.
