Interesting story about the 1881brakeman on the Q. My grandfather was a brakeman on the Q about that time. My father hired out on the Q in 1914 and was alao a brakeman (later conductor). My brother hired out on the Q in 1941 and returned after the war and was also a brakeman. In 1959, I went down to hire out and was offered a Tri-City switchman's job. My father talked me out of it, so I joined the US Navy and spent 22 years there, but did spent the last 3 years of my Navy career as a brakeman on the Mount Rainier Scenic RR. on weekends.
