Pay Car

[NW Mailing List]

There was no pay car when I worked on the section in 1953, but I remember going 
down (to the station?) to pick up my check. They were not mailed. Don't know how 
my Dad was paid, but I suspect he had to pick up his check too. We were paid 
every two weeks, and our check was always two weeks behind. So I got paid two 
weeks after I stopped work.      Jim Nichols

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,
