Women as Station Agents Improve Rail Service
A Salt Lake Herald dispatch from Indianapolis reports Lake Erie and Western Railroad testing women as agents at small stations. The first woman agent, hired about a year ago, impressed superiors with neat monthly reports and useful suggestions to boost ridership. Subsequent visits found the station well kept, free of disturbances, tidy, and the office orderly, with passenger service also improving due to better treatment of travelers. Other stations have since assigned women, with similarly marked improvements noted.
