The SP&S had a company newletter called The Dope Bucket.  It was published over most of the second half of the life of the railroad.  There are gaps when publication stopped, and in 1957 the size changed to half the original.  An issue would typically have information from the company mixed with happenings in the lives of the employees (weddings, vacations etc...).  These provide an interesting view inside the company that most people only know from the trains.
