Grov,
My grandfather was an electrician that worked for the railroad here in NJ back in the '20s. Once back when I started working in the trades, back in 1975-1979 I worked with my first boss and we were renovating an old railroad station that was privately owned and turned into a restaurant. I got to the electrical service and I always wondered if my grandpa worked here or not. He died when I was only 5 years old and I didn't know much about him. All I ever learned about him came from my dad. He told me the stories about how grandpa road the old handcars on the RR tracks from station to station checking and changing those new fangled light bulbs in that new fangled signal system that the RR's used to keep track of the trains from town to town.
