On THURSDAY, APRIL 18, 2019 1:30 PM at CATAMOUNT ARTS on EASTERN AVE. ST. JOHNSBURY, Osher Lifelong learning Institute (OLLI) presents:
THE "JITNEY" YEARS AT THE MOUNT WASHINGTON RAILWAY by Tim Lewis (Jitney, Jr) Electronic Journalism Professor, Northern Vermont University-Lyndon.

As the Mount Washington Cog Railway celebrates its 150th anniversary, "Cog Kid" and Journalism professor, Tim Lewis, recalls its pre-centennial operation and characters (including his father, Norm "Jitney" Lewis, also known to many of us as Danny Gore) who ran the world's first mountain climbing railway during the "Jitney" years of 1950 to 1967. The illustrated talk will have an emphasis on Cog employees from the St. Johnsbury area. Lewis is seeking help compiling the first comprehensive roster of those who worked at the mountain and their stories as part of his year-long sabbatical from Northern Vermont University-Lyndon.
