The piece recalls the early rail line, shop relocations after 1908 fire, and the shift from wooden coaches to modern locomotives.

Beeman recalls railroading life with Santa Fe
Mr Beeman remembers 1908 wages at one dollar per day and a ten hour workday with 24 hour on call. He notes harsh hours in extreme weather while keeping rolling stock moving for the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe. Now trains use electric motors, but his loyalty to emergency railroading remains and he plans another 45 years in the field. The Beeman family lived at 2102 Fillmore and later 2117 Hayden.
