Re: Alamosa January 9 1937

A few new names pop up. Engineer Goshart on Train 116 could have been one of two men. C.M Groshart was qualified as a fireman on 9-21-1914 and promoted to engineer on 10-20-1918. He was No. 62 on the engineers' list for 1-1-1937. E Groshart completed his student trips on 10-3-1914 and promoted on 10-25-1918. He was No, 62. The top 69 men were qualified for passenger train service as engineers.
It is a puzzle that either one would have been as the throttle, considering there were supposedly more senior men available.

Brakeman Eagley must have been hired after 1930 as he was not on the Salida trainmen's list. Conductro H.P. McCall was definately around for a while. He was No. 27 in seniority with a brakeman's date of 8-24-1904 and a conductor's date of 7-22-1909.
