Evening Republican, Volume 18, Number 43, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 19 February 1914 — Railroad Women in Europe. [ARTICLE]

Railroad Women in Europe.

A signal woman has been employed on the line between Morebath and Hampton, near the Somerset border of Devon, for the last 23 years, and another at Lee Crossing, near Minebear, says the London Tit-Bits. But women are employed on the railways in other places besides the west country. Rosemount station on the Caledonian railway, and Longford, Essex, have station mistresses. At Braystones, on the Furness railway, and at Dovenby station, Cumberland, there are women who not only manage the signals, but issue tickets and do all the work in connection with the trains. More women, probably, are employed on the railways in Russia than in any oth£r European country.
