However we always referred to ourselves as "engineer." I believe this was true on the Pennsy as well. <br /> <br />Mitch <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />In addition, they were also refered to as "Motormen" on some interurban lines, even after the cessation of passenger service. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />But NOT on the South Shore. Just say that around there and see what happens. <br />They were motormen up until '38 when the main line unions took over representation of the operating men. At that time the BLF&E took over representing the motormen. they then were referred to as "Enginemen." <br />Mitch
