Talk about stage superstition,
said Nickel>Plate conductor to re-
porter, sit Is not half 90 universal a.
among railroad men"
as it possibleI' inquired the writer.
"Why, yes. often wonder that
more is not said about it. am not
speaking about that superstition that
clings to one after an accident, but of
that possessed by regular railroad
men. know a conductor who wears
long face the whole trip if the first
ticket he should take up would be
that of colored man. He has never
had serious accident, but is always
afraid of one, when such an occur
renee happens. | have known him to
carry it to such an extent that if a
colored man should happen to be his
fsst passenger he would sit down and
not gather up the tickets until the
next station was reached. That's a
mild instance, however A horseshoe
is a railroad mans universal insignia
Of safety. You will scarcely find a
freight train upon any Of the roads
without horseshoe in the caboose.
Brakemen sometimes carry whole
one in their pockets. Engineers are
scarcely ever without one in their cab.
If anything happens to delay a train
on the first four or FIVE miles of It's
"trip an engineer is always supersti-
tious Of bad luck all the way through.
| have known one Of them to enter a
way telegraph Office for orders and
anticipate an answer to LAY over just
because it was their off night
Some engineers get to believing that
certain portions Of the road are against
them, and no matter how nicely their
train glides over it they are apprehen.
sive of danger or of being late.
Conductors are tainted with the
disease, but not so seriously. If the
first pasteboard handed certain one
| know when he starts on "A trip
should be pass, he is certain that he
will have bad luck during the whole
run. Brakemen do not show the
symptoms SO plainly, because they
have less to do with the management
of the train, but even they do not
escape it. Should brakehead fly off,
an evil omen is conveyed to the mind
of some of the craft. A train OF
thirteen cars often gives brakeman
the blues. / have known one to miss
a trip because the train he was to run
with had that number of cars"
