Old Timer Reflects on 45 Years with Norfolk and Western
A long reminiscence from a veteran railroader recounts entry into service in 1893 at Switchback, rise to conductor, then telegraph service for over 45 years. He led local and general chapters of the Order of Railroad Telegraphers, met several railroad presidents, and cherished a non confrontational, steady craft. He recalls witnessing two railroads, early double tracking, and the evolution of equipment from coffee pot engines to modern locomotives.
