We are starting a new regular monthly post series called Operator-Agent.
The plan is to post a new segment on the third Wednesday of a month.
Written by Calgary chapter of the MTC board member Larry Isenor this is a fascinating look at the duties of a Station Operator and Agent.
Originally written as a guide for the Heritage Park Morse Telegraph Club, Larry has kindly given us access to post this info in a serialized form.
Keep an eye out for these over the coming months.
Thanks Larry!
To give you a context for Larry's posts check out this wonderful Day in the Life of... film shot in 1954 for the National Film Board of Canada entitled "Station Master."
"Finch, Ontario, is where the Canadian Pacific railway crosses the New York Central, a tiny but important link in Canada's railway network. This film looks at the daily duties of station master Dalton Henry and his staff."
Enjoy
