| I have a stack of bus transfers I found among my dad's mementos, undoubtedly dating from his time as a NOPSI bus driver, from the end of World War II until about 1952. These are samples from all of the routes represented. As I remember him talking about his time with NOPSI, he only had uptown routes, so I don't think he drove all of these. For a very short time, when he wasn't much more than a teenager, he and his brother, Carl, both worked as conductors on streetcar lines. I think it was the first full-time job he ever had, and it was probably in the early 1930's (not sure about the date though). I recently came across a photo that was taken during that time, standing next to a Magazine streetcar. I've added it at the bottom of the page. Nancy |
