I'm thinking it was the late 60's when they changed, as I have one of Dad's with the Q logo sewn on it.

Doug,

Can't say for sure but I would guess late 60s. Some of the old heads refused to change and wore the "stove pipes" well into the 70s. They just changed the badges

Leo, when did they switch to the round hats (which are cooler than the ones we wore in 70s)? Doug

The white shirt ,black belt and red tie were supplied by the employee. In the time period you reference the employee paid for the uniform from an authorized tailor. As well as black,shined shoes and blue socks. Any coat or other outer garments were also his responsibility. The employee also supplied his own ticket, change handling equipment.

If my memory is correct Starting with the 1964 contract an employee could be supplied two uniforms per year at a 50/50 split with the Q. The 1967 contract allowed for two uniforms per year at carrier expense.

As we got further into the 70s an employee could order a topcoat or winter overcoat instead of one uniform. Later shirts were supplied. It's my understanding that today everything,uniform,shoes,shirts,belts,coats, etc is supplied.

To All:


Years ago I acquired a Burlington Route conductor's uniform.  The uniform consisted of a blouse, vest, trousers, hat, and necktie.  All but the necktie were labeled for the Burlington Route with buttons or herald pins.  However, I am not sure the necktie is uniform issue.  I estimate the necktie to be from the 50's or 60's time period and is clearly "vintage".  I placed two photographs of the necktie in the photos section under the title "Conductor Uniform".  Does anyone know if the necktie in the photos is regulation?  If it is not regulation, what did the regulation neckties look like?


Thanks,
