I have heard of them called stews as in stewardess. Still sometimes used
in the airlines.

Hi Hannah,
I've not personally heard of the nurses being called "sues," but I do know
that several railroads did employ nurses for their passenger trains. I have
forwarded your question to the BRHSlist, where we have 500+ folks who are
Burlington fans (many of them more knowledgeable than me) who may be able to
help you.
Thanks for writing!
