There were no "trainpersons" of the female persuasion during my day.


HOWEVER....There was one female crew caller....When you called the 
"callboy"...She always answered...."CALL GIRL"....I am not making this up.

I should have added that the railwaymenwho are members of this List are 
obviously of the type that the VP was seeking!

Well I guessyou could say that..."some were and some weren't"...Some 
haveobserved over the years that you can't expect "gentlemanly" conductwhen you 
put a man who has been  "rassling boxcars for 40 years untilhe gets enough 
seniority to run a passenger train to be a "gentlemen"at all times... 
 
  
 

I think that whether a guy is a"gentleman" or not depends on his own personalty 
and moralvalues....I had the privilege of working with both types.

Back in 1921, the Burlington’s vice-president announced that the Burlington was 
conducting a courtesy campaign among itsemployes. He said "In the management of 
a property requiring 60,000employes it is expecting too much that every one of 
them will be a 'perfectgentleman,' but we are determined that the percentage of 
'perfect gentlemen' inour employ shall be as high as we can make it."
 

 
 

Are you suggesting thatthe “old heads” were not perfect gentlemen?
