A Boon to Railroaders on Warm Weather
The recent warm spell greatly aids railroad workers who toil outdoors in all weather. Brake men endure long periods atop box cars as wind gusts bite and cold seeps through car floors. Engineers and firemen feel relief from the chill yet still suffer, while bicycles spread among crews and faster telephony reaches more staff.
