SP passenger trainmen wore high served 5Ps eectr c servces coll"rs r;d high, stiifhats; they were usually format and courteous, ifsometimes a bit co"descendin!, to p"ssengers. The tone was decidedlv Victorim-courtcous but also dntant and reserved-the polar opposne ofthe culture ofthe early twenty-first ccn- tury Ofcourse, this Victorian tone came in part from the f'rct that most SP passenger trainmen ofthe 19a0s had been born before Qreen Victoria died in 1901' The Creat Depression had meant little new hiring, and older trainmen tended to prefer the regu- lar-h."rs ofp^senge. *rvice. So most paxenger trainmen were well over 50' some in their seventies. Mmdatory retirement did not applv on railroads' There was rlso a "strndard,' conserative quality to Espeet opemting stvle-{au- tious, precise, corect. DesPite gcnernlly excellent track, steam trains were limited to 70 (ICC) a 79 or 75 miles per hour; after the Interstrte Commerce Commission imposed mile p"r-hou. limit fo! lines without Automatic Train Stop, diesel streamliners observed it caretully. This operating style wis in dramatic contrast to the hot rodding

it valued provided in the form by buses connecting to the trains. As Gregory Lee Thompson chronicles in Tlte Paserger Train in th? Mrlar7gc, the service I saw in the late 1940s was the result ofa Depression-era revivJ. SP had lost much busines, and money, to improving highways after the mid-1920s. At the trough ofthe Depression, SP President Angus McDonald made the risky decision to invest heavily in the passen ger businex, and notjust in the famous streamlined Daylig,ir md the premium fare Citl afSaa Fantisa,l>rt also in a massive rebuilding ofolder steel coaches into air conditioned chair cm with reclining seats. McDonrldk heir, Armand T. Mercier, con- tinued the renaissance, supporting his dynrmic passenger traffic manager, Claude Peterson, in ordering hundreds ofnew cars in the mid-1940s to re-equip existing trains and inaugurate new ones. Mercier also continued the Depression-err poliry of charging very low fares to make the trains comp€titive with driving.I still recall my shock, upon rniving in Boston in 1959, at realizing that most Eastem fares were too high to aflord.
