Working on the Railroad: Samuel Louis Martin (1866 - 1943) From Coal Heaver to Locomotive Engineer

Samuel Martin is one of my second cousins, twice removed, through my great grandmother Rufina Tomlinson's lineage. He lived in Iowa his whole life and worked for the Chicago & North Western Railway Company for 51 years, rising from coal heaver to locomotive engineer during his career.
