He probably hired on to the Q the moment the ink on his high school diploma 
was dry. I'm sure he would have worked a variety of low-level jobs like 
section gang or telegrapher, till he was able to transfer into the passenger 
department. At the end of his career, he was probably in a supervisory 
position but probably not middle management.

The day is long past in which one works for a single civilian employer for 
an entire working career over four decades, if not five if you're still in 
good health.

It's the equivalent of a gold watch retirement gift that a conductor might 
have traditionally received.

Did BN honor lifetime passes on suburban trains?
