Veteran Cedar Rapids railman retires after 46 years
Martin Geiss of 701 Third avenue SW ends a long career with the Cedar Rapids and Marion City Railway when the express car is discontinued on Saturday. He recalls a hog laden crash at Crescent drive and First avenue, loading mishaps with mules and ponies, and a judge betting on his nationality. Geiss joined as store keeper in 1891 and became conductor in 1912, with the line electrified in 1891 and its first car in 1923. He plans to rest until spring and tend his garden and grape vines.
