Bongiorno, R. M. "Bob"
|
FSD: 7-18-52 ESD: About 1960 When Amtrak began running Commute trains for Caltrain in mid-1992, Bob transfered to Amtrak, where he was a "Special Duty Engineer", later a trainmaster. His job was to monitor weekday morning crews and trains, looking for problems. He often worked trains as an energency conductor, but refused to run one as an engineer. Because he so often fixed problems, often before they happened, he was known as "911". Regardless, the Joint Powers Board staff refused to rename Caltrain engine #911 as the Bob Bongiorno in appreciation after he passed away in 2002 from cancer while still on the payroll. His railroad career spanned 50 years to the day. |

Clouette, (Herold?)
|
Herold Clouette signed in as an engineer on an 1899 South Pacific Coast Campbell station registry. This is the person presumed to appear in the photos. When the SPC seniority roster was dissolved in 1907, it may be that, instead of transferring to the Coast Division, he instead hired on with Northwestern Pacific, where a 1939 roster shows a H. E. Clouette with an ESD 4-21-07. He may have been invited to the retiree picnics by his fellow former SPC engineers. A Turn of the Century contemporary of his was Coast Division trainman W. I. Clouette, BSD; 9-24-97 CSD: 10-15-02. Presumably they were related. |

Nesbit, W.G. "Butch"
|
FSD: 5-2-41 W.G. Nesbit spent much of his career in San Jose Yard, and in the late 1970's, early 1980's was the engineer of the self-described "Blue Angels" who worked the midnight shift at Cahill. When I was a new hire switchman, I frequently worked as an extra board helper on this crew, and Butch took it upon himself to take me under his wing - this by yelling at me from the cab every time that I made a mistake, which was frequently. Early on, he gave me as good of a compliment that a guy could get from one of the old school: You'd make a good switchman if you'd just learn to shut up. - E.O. Gibson, 8-2022 |
