Fireman during excursion era

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

John,

During the NS excursion era there was a called engineer and conductor and occasionally a brakeman (depending on the moves needed to be made on the trip) from the division.  That satisfied the union requirements.   There was no fireman called.  The steam crew on the engine usually did the running and firing the locomotive.
