A remarkable letter from the General Superintendent to the President of the GB&W informing him that he has been promoted to Locomotive Engineer. |
|
President H. Weldon McGee was among only a few railroad chief executives who could operate a locomotive. He passed his tests in 1976, a few years before he retired. Here is McGee at the controls of an RS-27. It is from the Green Bay Press-Gazette. Notice the tri-level cars ahead on the track to the left, loaded with Ford Mustangs.
From the collection of H. Weldon McGee. |
Weldon McGee on being an engineer: |
From a 1992 interview: Do you feel it's important for
railroad upper management to have the skills, or at least have a
feel of what it's like to an engineer, operating trains over the
railroad? |
