Description

W. M. Mosier, a veteran railroad man, has a radio and a television set in the study of his comfortable brick home at 2529 6th Avenue. But he still likes to sit at his desk, lean back in his swivel chair and roll back the years. He railroaded in the days when every trip was an adventure. He was 84 then but his memory was still as sharp and clear as the sound of a locomotive whistle on a cold day. He was able to rattle off names of crewmen, engine numbers and dates that have stuck in his mind for more than a half century.
