Steam era signals

Here's a tidbit of information I came by in book called "Bradford(Oh)..The Railroad Town" by Scott Trostel.

The family of brakemen kept a clean sheet in the event that dreaded knock on the door came..The Brotherhood would take up a collection and present this money and a Bible to the widow..

Both incredible and quite sad.

I need to borrow that book from my father and read it. My dad grew up near Bradford and goes back to the '60s with Scott.
