The crew gang had all <br />the latest tools, pneumatic tampers, spikers, etc. All the members of the crew gangs <br />were adults. Our local section gang consisted of <br />one foreman, four straw bosses and twenty-five high school age boys.. .it was a great <br />experience and started my great interest with trains!!!
