Trainmen's Board This board, which can be viewed downstairs in the living room, was used in South Cle Elum's Milwaukee Railroad Depot. Each trainman had a tag with name, hire date, and promotion date. Incoming engineers, conductors, brakemen and firemen placed their tag on the bottom row, then retired to the bunkhouse for much needed rest. Outgoing crews were organized, and their tags placed on the top rows. A youngster from town was hired by the depot operator to run over to the bunkhouse to summon the next crew out ....not always a popular job! |
