| In 1921 the prime minister of the day was stabbed to death at Tokyo Station by a railroad switchman. |
| The switchman stationed there heard the cry I was able to utter, and came to my assistance. |
| One switchman handles both locomotives, that is he takes one out while the other is loading and so on. |
| Only the station-master and a switchman with a lantern swinging in his hand were in sight. |
| One such spot is the peaceful town of Myrtlemede, where the switchman Reg Blanton had worked for twenty years. |
| If cars are left off or taken off at a particular point, then he performs the duties of a switchman. |
