This is from the Kent (Ohio) Tribune of March, 1924, recounting the 54-year career of W.E. Nichols of the Erie (and previously the A&GW RR). Notice his record for time off due to illness or injury. This was the day when the Erie had three or so doctors in Kent available to them. This was also old-time railroading, and “walk it off” was probably something the company doctor sometimes “prescribed.”
