The two main types of yearly railroad passes were:
1) Exchange passes, sometimes given out as favors between one official and another...
2) employee passes, supposedly only used for work. However, this benefit was also frequently passed on to dependents.
This practice got so out of hand, that some big roads were issuing over 20,000 passes yearly!
