THE GUARDIAN OF TRAVEL
AT RINES HILL CROSSIN g
VIM. S. Keene, Old
Time RailrOader.
Tells of Some of
His Experiences in
His Earlier Days.

There are crossing policemen, who
keep women and children from being
run over by miraculous teamsters
there are firemen whose bravery has
rescued delinquents from burning
houses, but it remains for William S.
Keene to pilot the pedestrian, the
teams, the steam and electric cars over
Rines Hill crossing without mishap to
the traveller or loss of time in the
schedules of the two railroads. He
has made good and he uses his good
judgment with which he has seemed
to be gifted, in this position, the same
as he did when he was in the engine
or in the caboose.
William S. Keene was born in Wins
low Feb. II, 1874 He began railroad
ing in 1865, just after the close of the
Civil War. He enlisted in the war,
but only got as far as Augusta when
he was mustered out. and soon after
ward entered into a service which has
proved to be his life Work-railroadin
or connected in some capacity with it.
His first work was on what was then
known as Seven Mile Brook section.
He worked in this capacity for one
winter, when he went firing on an en-
CINE known as the "HalloWell," q wood
burner. This engine would use eight
cords of measured wood in a day of
| hard work. He fired about year
when he went on as rear brakeman
| This was in December and the fol-
| lowing March he became conductor
| and for 30 odd years he had expert
ences, some of which We're variegated
| with the joys and sorrows of a rail
readers life. At one time Mr.. Keene
| was held as spare conductor with
headquarters in Portland, all one Win
| ter, when he took any train over its
destination whose conductor was alb
sent
ductor of the train making the Port
land-Lewiston run, he arrived at the
