The man in the top photo is my grandfather, John Coffer,
who lived his life in Paducah, Ky. He retired from the railroad
in about 1941.
The photo at the bottom is one that I picked up recently at
a train show in Indianapolis. Since NC&St.L items are hard
to locate, I jump at the chance to buy. The same goes for the
photo on the right.....it holds no personal attachment, only
in the fact that my grandfather was an engineer for that particular
railroad & from what I've seen, that logbook is a hard-to-come-by
item.
