Railroad Employee Business Cards Added

Here are the surnames of additional railway employees added to the vintage business card collection at Genealogy Today: Bailey, Baird, Barnes, Bastable, Beck, Benson, Brome, Castater, Cleland, Cleveland, Coldwell, Colvin, Coman, Craig, Crosbie, Crosby, Duffy, Egan, Glarum, Glorioso, Gold, Gottschald, Guthrie, Haischer, Hale, Hang, Harrow, Hatfield, Haugh, Herron, Hess, Hewitt, Hoydar, Hulsey, Jahn, Kikunaga, Kirby, Knight, Liechty, Marlatt, Martin, McNeal, McNutt, Moonert, Morningstar, Murray, Newlean, Nichols, Noble, Olmsted, Page, Pengra, Perkins, Pierce, Pinger, Redding, Rosenbaum, Sage, Sears, Sheahan, Sheldon, Smith, Starin, Stevens, Storey, Sullivan, Thiehoff, Thomas, Turner, Watson, Weed, Whitney, Wilson, Woodworth.

One of the cards (W. D. Cleveland) belonged to an employee of the Oahu Railway in Honolulu, which was interesting because I had never thought that there would be railroads in Hawaii. Coincidentally, I was going through a box of ephemera and came across this photo of a train station in Honolulu. You can see (click on the image for a larger version) the name Ohau Railway on the building.
