Railroad Employee Roundhouse

Basic Information

This page is an index of jobs involving locomotives, especially during the early years of the Railroad.

On the train:

• Railroad Brakeman
• Railroad Conductor
• Railroad Engineer
• Railroad Stoker

Elsewhere:

• Rail Baron
• Railroad Laborer
  • Chinese Laborer

This is listed as a Trope over at the TV Tropes Wiki, but it's really just a list of Professions relating to the Railroad. Since we have a tendency to make random generators over here (and I could imagine "Professions" being a category on the Random Character Generator sometime soon), it seemed better to split this up into pages on all the various character roles.
