I didn't like the Southern Pacific and their unfriendly management, but some of the employees were exceptions. In the early 1960's, in the Oakland 16th Street passenger station, I talked to a passenger agent who was near retirement age. He told me that he LIKED working passenger service and liked helping passengers. He said he actually bid for the job!
