Old Days in the Ticket Office Remembered by Veterans
In a reminiscence, two Pennsylvania Railroad retirees recall nights and days in the old ticket office, when one man handled all duties and sleep came between trains. They contrast pioneer service with modern depots and note a long night schedule from the 1870s era. Merritt E. Gill and Harry W. Anderson were named as Frank Thompson scholarship recipients for 1909, each a railroad family member, with Gill from Grand Rapids, Mich and Anderson from Folcroft, Pa, both aiming for college education. A separate incident reports a fatality near Valparaiso as a student on company tracks was struck by a train despite warnings, while a bystander escaped injury.
