Caption: "Seven employees of the Bush Terminal Company are shown at ceremonies attendant on their retirement. Left to right are: Michael Jordan, a brakeman with the company since 1915; Henry Bender, a brakeman, 1910; Herbert W. Griffin, locomotive engineer, 1903; Giuseppe Marstello, trackman, 1904; W. L. Sturges, assistant to the president of Bush Terminal; James Stanger, locomotive engineer, 1903; Martin Burns, a brakeman, 1922; C. E. Ward, brakeman, 1904, and P. J. Roth, vice president and freight traffic manager. Mr. Sturges and Mr. Roth congratulated the men on their records." Men are standing in front of two, presumably freight, train engines with signs, "On the last run, 24 years on the Bush Terminal Railroad; good luck, Herb" and "On the last run, 33 years, 5 months, 3 weeks on the Bush Term. R. R.; good luck, Jim."
