HE CLAIMS LONGEST SERVICE
Squire Nee Has Been Engineer for
Eifty-Two Years.

E11Gy-1WO Years.
Squire Charles G. Nee, who han
dies the throttle of the big new loco
motives of the Rock Island on the
Golden State Limited over the Kansas
division, is accredited with being the
oldest locomotive engineer in point of
service in the United States. Recent
ly, Squire" Nee met on the depot
platform at San Diego, Cal, Engineer
Warner, who sits in the cab of the
locomotive which pulls the Santa FEES
fast train between Los Angeles and
San Diego and who has forty years of
service to his credit.
Engineer Nee got the title of
Squire" on account of his service in
the third house" of the Kansas state
legislature, where he represented the
Kansas locomotive engineers for six
teen years. The Squire has been in
troduced to the public before. Several
years ago, when Chrales NJ. Schwab
made his famous run via the Rock Is
land to Chihuahua, Mexico, Nee made
the 1913 miles of his run with SchWab' S
car hooked to his locomotive in 147
minutes, which, at that time, was
somewhat of a national record.
Engineer Nee is IS years old and
has spent fifty-two years of his life
in a locomotive cab--thirty-two years
Rock Island for thirty-three years. He
expects to retire within the next two
years The Squire does not look the
part of an engineer when off duty.
He is a natty dresser and looks like
a lawyer. some of his friends say.
while others see resem blance to John
D. Rockefeller.
Engineer Mee's life has been spent
in the most strenuous period of rail-
road development and yet with the
odds of fifty-two years standing
against human fal1ibility, he has no
wrecks chalked up against him. He
has had but one wreck-a head-on
collision. caused when another en-
gineer misread his orders. That was
twenty-five years ago.-Roek Island
