\"Fireman\"<\/p>\n

Another restoration from my collection of old family photos. As usual, it’s an unmarked photo – and I had no idea\u00a0what kind of uniform he was wearing. Initially, I thought he was a fireman in his dress uniform, but I noticed there was a number on his cap, and researching old photos of firemen in the town I grew up in, it wasn’t a match. I did a Google image search, and I came upon this photo<\/a>\u00a0of a man in a similar coat with multiple pockets – he was a train conductor. Oh the beauty of the internet! I still don’t know who he is – but hopefully someone will chime in and solve the mystery. Original photo behind the cut.\u00a0<\/p>\n
