Reply To: Cooks on work gangs.

[Webmaster]

I never heard any stories about company hired cooks for bunk car outfits. I think it is possible that individual gangs were allowed to hire their own cooks. If so, I would imagine that each member of the gang was required to contribute a set amount on a regular basis. Most of the stories that I heard involved members of the gang doing the cooking and clean up chores.

If anyone has any information with reference to bunk car cooks, I would love to see it.
