The ET&WNC ran DEEP into the "Bible belt", so it's no surprise to me.

There are a bunch of churches in that area still, and my folks tell me they controlled every aspect of daily life to the 50s at least. It's one of the big reasons they were never church goers after they moved to Florida in the early 60s.

Thanks for the background, Lee.  A casual web search turned up other train tickets showing a clergy permit and discount. One was for the Southern RR; another example could be applied across multiple central and western RRs.  One was from the late 1800s, another was from the 1950s.
