Work record for Milton E Trotter indicates he began D&RGW service as a telegrapher during 1924 at Antonito.
Through the years he worked at many various locations including:
Pagosa Jct from August 1929 through March 1932
Chama from April 1937 through June 1953
Durango October 1954 through May 1955
I do not have information subsequent to May 1955 at hand.
(Edit) Telegrapher seniority roster dated January 1, 1966 shows
M E Trotter in service
