One of the outstanding suc-
cess’ stories of 1972 was told
recently by the Baltimore Life
Insurance Company. Our neigh-
bor Virgil Miller of Chase
Manor, manager of the Wilkes-
‘Barre Office of Baltimore Life
Insurance’ was the recipient
of the “Ovitstanding Award for
Region II” of the company,
covering the states of Virginia,
Maryland, New Jersey, Penn-
sylvania, Ohio, and Washing-
ton, D.C. Mr. Miller was also
runner-up for the president’s
trophy. All of this was accom-
plished in spite of the fact that
the Wilkes-Barre office, located
across the street from the
Midway Shopping Center, was
totally inundated by ‘Agnes’ last
June. As one of only eight
managers in the region to meet
their quotas for 1972, Virgil and
his wife, Zelda, spent a glorious
weekend as guests of the
company at the Host Farms in
Lancaster where: the awards
were presented: *-

ambulance back in service in 48
hours. Fortunately, there were

This: is Car No. 2186,
by Sylvia Cutler
“Rich man, poor man,
beggerman, thief; doctor,
lawyer, Indian thief.”
Do kids still count buttons to
see what they will be?
The average little boy wants
to be a fireman, a clown, or a
firstbaseman, or perhaps even
an engineer on a railroad
train—one with a steam engine
and a big loud whistle. Perhaps
that’s the underlying reason for
the many thousands of railroad
buffs throughout America, that
old childhood longing to “be an
engineer’’!
Ed Gardner, a Pesideiit of
Garden Avenuein Mountaintop,
and a native of Metuchen, N.J.,
won’t say what he wanted to be
as a child, but in 1949-50 he
worked for the Pennsylvania
Railroad in New York City.
When he moved to the Wilkes-
Barre area in 1950, he still loved
railroads and railroading and
already had a collection of
unique railroad schedules. It
fascinated him to delve into
railroad lore and learn about
the dramatic moments of its
history, a history that paral-
leled that of
America... for railroads broke
through the great frontiers. Ed
has collected schedules for over
20 years, as well as legends and
stories about railroads and rail-
road men.
Ed studied advertising at
Pace College, picked up the
written, printed and published
two very interesting books on
railroad schedules.
The first is called ‘‘Timetable
Review of the Pennsylvania
Railroad’, and the second is
“Collecting Railroad and Trolly
Timetables as a Hobby’. Both
are beautifully and informally
written—interesting reading in-
deed—and are profusely illus-
trated with photographs of
trains, conductors, passengers,
and replicas of interesting old
timetables.
Ed has compared notes with
other collectors and has shared
material and anecdotes with
them.
Timetables, like magazines,
reflect the culture of the era.

tween Boston and Richmond

river; the November 15, 1896,
from New York City, shows
trailing flowering vines. The
schedule for May 23, 1943, shows
Uncle Sam, vigorous and
powerful, insisting ‘Buy United
States War Bonds and Stamps
for Victory!”’ The schedule for
April 29, 1934, proclaims
“Largest Fleet of Air-
conditioned Trains in the
World.” The schedule for June
20, 1943, shows servicemen
marching with the slogan,
“They come first!” All of these
are the ‘‘Pennsy’’ timetables in
Volume 1.
Volume II is jampacked with
photographs, anecdotes, and a
history of the origin and owner-
ship of many railroad and
trolley lines. One tale concerns
a wreck on the Wilkes-Barre
and Hazleton railway, when the
emergency brake on the train
failed to work.
To a railroad buff, names like
Niagara Falls, White Mountains
and Portland or ‘Old Colony
Railroad system’’ are music to
the ears.
Ed’s books should be a source
of great enjoyment to other col-
lectors. They are jampacked
with railroad history, and as an
added attraction, there are even
