Steam Era Train Crews

[NW Mailing List]

There would have been a head-end brakeman, rear-end brakeman, and conductor.  I believe the typical steam era crew normally totaled five persons.

Other than the engineer and fireman, who else made up a typical freight train crew in the early '50s--on a run from Roanoke to Hagerstown, for example. ~~Bernie Hylton
