The following information was taken from Conductor
John McKean's Record Book. It records the crew and consist of train No. 8,
the Ogdensburg, NY-to-Alburgh, VT mixed train. The average day would
be from six to eight hours and would earn a trainman about $15.00 to
$20.00 depending on overtime. New York State law required the
additional, third ("swing") brakeman, who would get off at Alburgh and
return to Ogdensbug the next day, working on No. 7. The rest of the
crew worked through to Rutland. One brakeman would most likely have
been in uniform and worked the coach or, in this case, the combine.
