Section men are known for their

get in hurry unless there is some
urgent work to be done. AS long as
they are on the go they are supposed
to be working fast enough.
Track workers on the subway lines
are even more deliberate I'm their
movements than men employed on
regular railroads. Where the old-time
section workers had to look out for
fliers and occasional freight trains
