Mrs. Roslyn L. King Yearbook Advisor Manchester High School Manchester, Pa. Dear Mrs. King: We're happy to have the opportunity to assist you in your yearbook project. bhclosed are several booklets and pictures which --i will give you an idea of how a railroad operates. :am .f gg lied h You specifically asked about the titles of employes on a N-'ks 1 train. Each train crew is basically e tive-man one-engineer, fireman, conductor and two brakemen, sometimes called trainmen. One of the two -'I braksnen is the flagnan of the train. The train is in charge of the conductor. I.n addition to this basic crew, there often is a baggage- man and when the train contains a mail car, there are s number of mail clerks who work in it, sorting and dispatching mail as the train speeds along. Mail clerks are federal employes. On trains which have e diner, there is a steward in charge of the car and a number of waiters and chefs. When the train contains Pullmans there is a Pullman con- ductor and s porter for each Pullman. I.n some trains there are coach attendants to help coach passengers with their luggage and other miscellaneous little chores. On a long-distance. train the train crews change frequently at division points. Train crew are paid on a mileage basis and a basic day's work for an engineer or fireman is 100 miles or less or 5 hours or less. For conductors and brskmen it is 150 miles or less or 75 hours or less. QI a long-distance train, say from New York to Chicago, the employes working on it may number as high as 100. I hope this will enable you to get ot! to an early start. If you need additional material, we will be very glad to assist you. Yours ve 5 nun sem In .I aINcLAIII. een.. c e 1
