You really have no idea about the "stress" that Railroaders, and railroads, were under during the war years. Just because they were not in combat, and getting shot at, doesn't mean that Railroaders were NOT "stressed". I was born in 1942, and once old enough to understand, I can remember my father's VERY long hours at the Pennsylvania RR, and he wasn't even in the Operating Department.
