Snake Charmer Engineer Drives Rattlers on Pennsylvania Rails
Engineer Pownell of the Tyrone division keeps rattlesnakes as pets in a box on his engine. He releases them on the cab and tender for amusement and even at depots, then calmly returns them to their hut.

In a separate report, Thomas Kellar, a section foreman on the L and N line near Lynn station, was struck by a stone kicked up by a wheel, breaking his jaw and left arm in a rock-breaking accident.
