ing their regard for their veteran associate,
have surprised him by presenting him fine
crayon portrait of himself. encased In an ele-
giant gilt frame Conductor Eugene Bow
ditch made the presentation speech, to which
the recipient appropriately responded. The
picture now adorns Conductor Weymouth's
parlor.
Mr.. Weymouth has been fOrty-two years
in the employ of the Boston & Maine. He
was born in North Berwick, Me-, In June,
1922. At the age Of seventeen years he went
to Boston. Until 1874 he was engage In va
rious employments. Iu the latter year he
entered the employ OF the Portsmouth, Saco
& Portland Railroad Company. In 1S4S be
was made baggage for the Boston &
Maine on the Medford branch. Soon after
he was made conductor, and about twenty
four years ago made conductor Of the Port
land train. Mr.. Weymouth has been In
seven or eight accidents. The most serious
disaster he was ever In was at Wells, about
nine years ago. The train, as many will re-
member, went through bridge. AS the car
In which Conductor Weymouth was stand
ing went down he was flying through 1t. His
head struck one Of the hanging lamps and
his scalp and face were badly torn. 1t was
thought he could not survive bis injuries.
After nine months of care he was able to re-
sumo duty. He bears today the scars Of this
accident.
When Mr.. Weymouth went to work for
the P. S. 4 P. there were five engines on the
line. There were only two trains to Boston
daily. Sunday excepted, Of course. These
trains ran into the city over the tracks of the
Eastern railroad. At that time the Boston
& Maine road brought its cars into Boston
over the Lowell road. The Boston & Maine
road was then only branch from Andover.
In time he line was extended to Berwick
junction. In 1s43 it was connected with the
p, S & P. road, and went through to Port
land. As the Andover branch 1t was seven
or eight miles long. II entered Lowell.
From that SMALL beginning the Boston &
