After 43 Years
William Farlow of Wymore
Began on Old K. C., St. J. &
C. B.—Traveled 320.000
Miles in 20 Years.
Wymore, Neb., Jan. 25.—William F.
Farlow, dean of the six roadmasters
for the Wymore division of the Bur
lington railway, and one of the old
est roadmasters on any railway In
Nebraska In point of service, was re
tired today on pension by the railway
company, and will leave next week to
spend the remainder of the winter In
Tampa. Fla., after service of 43 years.
Mr. Farlow began his railway career
when 19 years old, in the water serv
ice department at Tarkio, Mo., on
March 1, 1880. The railway was
known as the K. C., St. J. & C. B., a
part of the present Burlington sys
tem.
During the forepart of 1881, as the
Burlington built westward. Farlow
came to what is now the Wymore
division of the road, and on October
22, 1881, was transferred to Wymore,
which had been platted only a few
months, and was assigned to a posi
tion repairing cars.
He remained in this capacity until
the spring of 1882 when lie was as
signed to a bridge gang, which built
several of the bridges over small
streams between Wymore and T-fubbell
and Wymore and Washington, Kan.,
they being light pile bridges. In the
spring of 1888 he was made foreman
and conductor of a pile driver. After
fourteen years of service as driver
foreman, he again took charge of a
bridge and carpenter gang, living at
Nebraska City, and taking the place
of R. A. Black, veteran foreman there,
at his death In 1902. He resided at
Nebraska City for two years In this
capacity.
In 1904, upon the resignation of
Boarimaster Ed Ryan, Farlow was
transferred to Wymore and promoted
to roadmastef by the railway, which
position he continued to hold for 20
years, until his retirement today.
Tn his travels during the last 20
rears In line of duty he estimates
that he has ridden an average of 16,000
miles a year, a total of 320,000 miles,
"i- over twelve times the circumference
of the globe.
Mr. Farlow tells of assisting the
crossing of railway traffic on "ice
bridges’’ on the Missouri river in the
early days, before the railway had
bridges across the river at Nebraska
t ity and Rulo. lie states that when
the ice began to form in the winter,
the railway drove piling In the sand,
illowlng them to stand and freeze in
the Ice to steady them, and then threw
i sort of pontoon bridge across to
move traffic on.
