N&W in 1910--Conductor

[NW Mailing List]

Bluefield Daily Telegraph
July 19, 1910

PIONEER CONDUCTOR
------
    Captain George W. Thomas, of Salem, was a visitor to the city yesterday.  Captain Thomas was the first conductor to go through the Elkhorn tunnel and he helped to build the present Pocahontas division, being a foreman in charge of workmen.  He is here on a visit to his daughter.

[I remember when it was common to address passenger train conductors as "Captain."]
