Bro Sherman’s bold freight top ride recounted
A local editor, Bro Sherman, rode a freight train on top of the car from Glenwood to Plattsmouth after missing the Plattsmouth passenger train. He rode atop the car to reach his destination, aided by a yardmaster’s advice, and arrived safely. The tale is compared to his past wartime rail adventures in the South. The piece closes with adverts and notices from local merchants and medicine ads.
