The Allure of Trains
My grandfather worked his entire life on the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR). In 1938, when he was 28-years-old, he wrote letters to my grandmother while working and traveling across the country on the railroad lines. He was an Examiner in those days although I’m not exactly sure what his job entailed. His letters were postmarked from places like the Sheridan Hotel in Minneapolis, corporate offices in St Louis, the Rice Hotel in Houston, The Sheridan Hotel in Minneapolis, and Hotel Utah in Salt Lake City.
