Chili Line brakeman W.T. Lewis had conductor seniority but relinquished it. Lewis, born circa 1882, became a brakeman on 9-16-1908 and was promoted to conductor on 4-5-1917.
The 1930 census listed him as a brakeman. He owned a $3,000 house. Being a brakeman only didn't hurt in in 1940 as he earned $3,600. Trains 425 and 426, being second class, paid well.
He had a seventh grade education.
