Re: Historically Accurate?

I don't know about the Narrow Gauge roads but my Father and Grandfather both worked for the Frisco (R.I.P.) and I never saw either in bib's. I don't remember too well, however, what my Grandfather used to wear (He retired when I was 6). Dad always wore jeans, t-shirt, and steel toed boots. A flannel in the winter under the snowmobile suit. Head gear usually consisted of some sort of baseball cap...unless you wore a cowboy hat with the large feathered hat band that made you look like you hit a pigeon while driving the convertible.
Of course this was in Missouri and not working on steam. When my Grandfather first started on the Frisco before WWII it was all steam but he was working mainly passenger service and Conductors wore uniforms (suits).
I have seen several pictures in the Denver Public Library's collection that show crews on the D&RGW and the RGS in bib's and some without.
I would guess that it was up to the crewman.....unless the road had a 'dress code'.
