I was speaking to an aquaintance today who informed me that in the 1970's, she worked for the Auto Train (before Amtrak purchased it). When she was an attendant, she wore a short skirt and go-go boots. When she worked as a ticket agent, she wore roller skates. She said it was a great job and she had a lot of fun. My guess is that she was in her 20's then. She kept her uniforms and donated them to a museum in Sanford.
After working for the auto train, she worked for the airlines for 25 years. She told me that she would much rather take a train than fly.
