Paul:

Here is a quick answer. A Division was managed by the Superintendent. Under
that person were Trainmasters, Asst. TM, Roadmasters, Div. Engineer (Civil
Type), Road Foremen of Engines, etc. A TM or ATM would have a "Territory",
road or terminal, that was defined by the Supt. Look at an employee
timetable for the list of officers. That should give you some idea of the
number of supervisors. Generally , road territory was made up of a goodly
size of turf including mainline and many branches.

BTW, in the electric utility business, the tree trimming foreman WAS the
branch manager....
