I was a sophomore in High School in Bellingham, WA. My father worked the GN Bellingham yard job (daytime). Prior to that he worked the night shift and had been engineer on Pacific International passenger train and freights Seattle to Portland. He also worked in New Westminster doing a night yard job.

I remember when he hit his 25 year anniversary date with BN he got a BN 25 year pin. He was disappointed, he really wanted the GN 25 year pin.

When he retired with 31 years of service, they held a retirement dinner for him. He was presented with a GN 25 year pin at that time with a letter from president of BN (Louis Menk I believe?)

He's gone now, but I still have his 25 year GN Pin.
