Before the widespread popularity of automobiles, buses, and trucks,
freight and passenger trains bound the nation together. The Station
Agent and the American Railroad Experience explores the role of
local frontline workers that kept the country's vast rail network
running. Virtually every community with a railroad connection had a
depot and an agent. These men and occasionally women became the
official representatives of their companies and were highly
respected. They met the public when they sold tickets, planned
travel itineraries, and reported freight and express shipments.
Additionally, their first-hand knowledge of Morse code made them
the most informed in town. But as times changed, so did the role
of, and the need for, the station agent. Beautifully illustrated
with dozens of vintage photographs, The Station Agent and the
American Railroad Experience, brings back to life the day-to-day
experience of the station agent and captures the evolution of
railroad operations as technology advanced.
