Item Details

Description

Definitely a harder to get occupation from the NYC Railroad. There still seems to be discussion on exactly what this occupation was. I'll let the New York Central experts fight that one out. The badge is in fine condition and it shows real use on the back with nice discoloration. The blue enamel is in fine condition.
