A Boston Transcript passage notes a brakeman in azure attire with gilt buttons who acts as a benevolent, station announcing and light reducing helper. The piece jokes that such perks suit sons of millionaires, while praising his acts helping young ladies and safeguarding sight, framed as humorous social satire.
