Although his death was not expected,
Murray realized that he had not long to
live. He had reached his seventy-hfth
some friends that his time must soon
come, and realizing that he had passed an
eYentful life as a railroad man, he pre-
pared some notes for his biography.
The interesting narrative runs back to
1876, when Murray began as an engine
wiper on the Michigan Central Railroad.
A year later he became fireman. Then
he went to the Michigan Southern, the
hrst railroad to enter Chicago. The total
railroad mileage of the State of Illinois
then consisted of ten miles of wooden and
Scrap-iron tracks.
The advent of the iron track began
about that time, and young Murray fol-
lowed his fortunes in Ohio and Wisconsin
as engineer. AS the new development of
the West increased he worked toward the
setting sun, operating at Fort Wayne, in
Kansas, on the pld Southern route through
Texas, and at last in California, following
the Southern Pacific track building AS
years rolled on the company found posi-
tions off the road for the aging railroad

he was given a f1agman's position, which
he held until his death
During his long career at railroading
Murray was fortunate in meeting with
only one accident That occurred many
years ago on the old Fort Wayne and
Chicago railroad when he was a fireman.
The engine was derailed and tumbled over
an embankment. The engineer sustained
fractured leg. Murray was unhurt.
