Message: My grandfather, John E. (Jack) Edwards worked for the Milwaukee Road for over 50 years. He started as a fireman and retired as a locomotive engineer in the mid 1960's with a Gold Pass. Prior to his retirement, he ran a switching route between Davis Junction and Dekalb, IL; he also rotated periodically to routes originating in Elgin, IL. I am researching his actual retirement date and will add him to the the employee history database when I have that information.
