While working as a conduc- tor he had a sad experience in hav- ing his brother, who was working on hig train as a brakeman, instantly killed. “It was a hard thing to have to take him back to Mother,” he told| me. He remained a conductor until 1885 when he resigned from the railroad and engaged in wholesale coal busi- ness in Mason Map 6 However, shot ly efter he sold his business a went to Minneapolis as chief train dispatcher of what is now the Minne- sota Division of the Soo Line. This was then called the Minneapolis & Pacific and the end of the line was at Forman, North Dakota. That part of the old Soo Line now east of Minneapolis was then called the Minneapolis, Sault Ste. Marie & At- lantic, but later the two lines were consolidated. : In 1889 he was promoted to super- itendent of telegraph of the Soo ine, from which position he resigned in 1892 to again enter ‘private: busi- me: But the railroad held a fas- cination for him that he couldn’t live down and three years later he re- entered the bape oe of the Soo Line, In the spring of '96 he went to Mex- ico City as superintendent of trans- tation of the Mexican Central Iroad, but did not like Mexico, so returned to the northwest, entering the service of the Soo Line again, y| tion and in ad| form with THURSDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1926 “How about the air brakes?” I | asked. “Well, what we called the straight air brakes went into use about ‘72, I think.

It was quite a few years, however, before freight trains and box cars were equipped; in fact, it was in the ‘90's before all roads had adopted them. “In the hand brake days a brakeman had to out on ‘top of the freight cars and set the brakes to stop the ‘train or slow it down when going down hill. Just imagine a brakeman riding on top of a train setting brakes going from Wilton for 10 miles on some of our winter days! Some roads made one brakeman ride on top wt all times between stations and their salary was $1.73 a day or about $45 2 month—and we thought we had a good job. A conductor. received $70 1 month and an engineer $3.25 a day. There were no labor oi jiza- tions in those days and no seniority A man was promoted accord- ing to his ability.” Never Been in Wreck In the half a century that Mr. Der- rick has been in railroad work, hav- ing traveled thousands of miles, he has never been in a railroad wreck It is a significant fact that many of his acquaintances and close friends of his early days have later become famous in railroading. I used to sleep with Lantry,” he said when he read of his recent pro- motion to general manager of the Northern Pacific Railway. He imme- diately wrote a letter of congratula- Mr. Lantry’s reply the latter stated that he well remember- ed Mr. Lapel a Leelee uni- ress buttons and that it was the ambition of his life to wear one like it. Mr. Underwood, who was a conduc- tor with Mr. Derrick on the Soo Line, became general manager of the Soo Line and later | aesiowidd of the Erie from which position he, too, will re- tire on December 31 ‘at an advanced age. 1 “When I eame to the Soo. Line,” ‘Mr. Derrick once told me, “Dan Wil- lard was an engineer. Now he is president of the Baitimore & Ohio.” Both Willard and Underwood write to Mr. Derrick occasionally and remem- ber him with a greeting every Christ- mas. “I knew Huntington,” he remark- ed, “as a little fat boy who lived across the alley from our home in Milwaukee. ir. Huntington later became president ‘of the Soo Line, which position, however, he held only @ few. years as his sudden death sev- eral years ago brought his brilfiant career to a close while at the zenith of hig ability. Mr. Derrick also worked as a brakeman for Mr. Pen- nington, who was a conductor on the Chicago & Milwaukee. Pennington was president of the Soo Line for a number of years, preceding Hunting- ton in that capacity. Will Be Greatly Missed Here And now, after these 5542 years, Mr. Derrick is to retire from active service—and in good health. He has purchased a home at Long Beach, California, and a summer cottage on a lake near Minnespolis and expects to divide his time between the two places. And ag he dreams back, in retrospection, over the years gone by, what memories will be his! He was educated in the university of exper- ience and he climbed upward by his own ability and perseverance. We of the younger generation see go with genuine regret and with a cer- tain reverence.
