Employees of the Rahway Valley Railroad



Engine #3 and her crew, Jack Shallcross, Glenn Halladay,
Michael Tiroley, Frazee Haines, Charles Lang, and Joseph Shallcross

"The train crew worked long hours for short-line pay; anyone who complained was likely to get a short answer, and the Rahway Valley went through brakemen like paper towels. Many of Clark's employees were afraid of him, but some wouldn't have wanted to work anywhere else."

-"Short-Line Man" Railroading Magazine, June 1969.
