Pay Car Comes Today
    One of the most pleasing events in railroad circles, and which occurs with monthly regularity, will be the arrival of the pay car today.  Everybody is wearing a happy smile in anticipation of the large amount of coin that will be paid out to the army of railroaders and which benefits everybody in the community.

Nice article, Gordon.  Does anyone know when the "pay car" stopped being operated by the N&W?  Also, were trackmen, signmen, or others a remote locations paid out of station agency funds before the era when checks were mailed to employees?

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone in love with the N&W,
