This collection contains one change over book from Hulsey Yard containing dates, train numbers, codes, timestamps, and notes. Each page is dated and contains a list of written codes with timestamps and small notes attached such as “caught fire,” “not loading,” and “out of water.” Each day spans two pages. At the bottom of the left hand pages are more written codes with notes attached related to the train maintenance, such as “burned wiring,” “eng. change,” and “wheel change.”

This collection contains a wide variety of technical manuals, operation logs, and repair guides. These were designed to assist engineers in diagnosing and correcting problems on the Southern Railway locomotives of the 1940s and 1950s. Other articles include newspaper clippings and magazines on the history of Southern Railway, personnel rosters, train schedules, and some of Stein's personal papers.
