A Good Record of an Old B and O Employee
Mr L J Hirst of this city began railroading as a brakeman with the B and O on April 1. In the fall he moved to Toledo Wabash Western as fireman and later extra engineer until 1869. He returned to Gratton, resumed the B and O, became conductor in 1871, lost an arm in 1871, acted as signal switch caller during doubles from Grafton to Piedmont gate, served as caller at Grafton from 1873 with night work for nineteen years, and has called 27 years total. He was never suspended for neglect of duty or violations. The record is rare and perhaps unmatched, meriting better rewards for faithful service.
