    Not a mystery photo, just a great photo of a brakeman about to grab orders for his eastbound train at Ft Worth Tower 55.

    Hardly anything in that photo can be seen today.

    That’s the conductor. The brakeman is up in the crow’s nest. Very seldom do conductors have the brakeman snag the orders and the brakeman usually rides on the right hand side of the cab.
