When the term railroad worker was used, it was a fairly broad area. It could have been implying the man who runs the engine, lays the tracks or stokes the firebox. As one can see, there were several men employed by the railroad company. I have tried to identify in what capacity they served. If no specification is listed, then the men had just recorded the job as "railroad worker". It was not uncommon to find many railroad workers residing in a boarding house or hotel close to the area that they were working on. Their families however, may have lived in another county entirely.
NOTE: There are two men residing in the Greencastle area that are listed as "Car Repairers". The occupation locally was referred to as a "car knocker"; they were men who repaired the railroad rolling stock.
