Anthony Bourdain in WV

[marble falls]

3. My great grandfather was a gandy dancer on the old Pennsylvania RR, my grandfather got educated....

and became chief light and signal engineer for the Nickle Plate Road and then the Norfolk and Western. My great uncle was the Erie Lackawanna yard master in Akron, Ohio and two of my cousins were trackmen until they retired recently.

My other grandfather died from black lung after working the Bethlehem Mines and being disabled by the time he was fifty. Charlie Bronson worked the same mine until he went into the service for WWII.

Thank G*d for the UMW and the late, beloved BRT.
