Notes for James Thomas Parks:
From The Hoisington Dispatch, June 25, 1964--In 32 Different Towns; 44 Years on Sections--"I've
been from Osawatomie to Brandon, Colorado, and lived in 32 towns along the Missouri Pacific
Railroad," said James T. "Tom" Parks in reminiscing about his 44 years and five months with the
line.
Tom Parks retired this month. He had been a section foreman for 40 years. He and Mrs.
Parks, who live at 219 E. 4th, plan to "give the fish the devil."
During the years when he was assigned various seciotns of train track to maintain Tom ran
a crew of men numbering from two to 40.
"It depended a great deal on economic conditions," Tom says. "During hard times, a few
men had to do most of the work."
Still in perfect health for all his years of toil, Tom looks forward to taking it easy. But he
won't stop working. After a brief time, he hopes to find part time work.
He has worked with 14 different roadmasters and hundreds of employees. " I want to
express appreciation to all who wer so kind over the years on Mo-Pac," he said.
He was given a fishing rod and reel as a going away gift from his fellow workers up and
down the line.
Tom has seen considerable change in railroad trackage maintenance. First was the switch
from steam to diesel.
"Diesels are more economical to run and don't tear up the track like the old steam engines
with their heavy counter-balances," he notes. "The old steam engines tore up track faster."
Then, too, automation has cut down the number of men needed to keep steel tracks in
shape. Now a few men with new equipment can dothework of many times their number.
Born in Missouri--Tom Parks was born in Albany, Missouri July 6, 1896 [actually 1897].
He attended school at Miller, Kansas. It was at Miller that he met his wife, the former
Elnora May Goldsmith. She was not new to railroading, either. Mrs. Parks' father, Jim Goldsmith,
worked as a section foreman on MoPac for 40 years.
After their marriage Oct. 20, 1920, the family began their moves up and down MoPac
following assignments. They have lived in Hoisington for the past four years and plan to continue
living here.
The Parks have five boys and two girls. They are Eugene "Pat" Parks who works for the
Hoisington school system; Henrietta Holmes of Plains, Kan., a housewife; James L. Parks,
Ellsworth, Kan., teacher; Charles Robert Parks, a teacher at Topeka; Louise Wood of Ulysses, a
housewife; Kenneth Wayne Parks, a teacher at Larned; and Marvin Lee Parks who works at Town
and Country Super Market, Hoisington.
There are 15 grandchildren.
"There were times in the past when we wondered where the next pop of beans was
coming from, but we madit somehow," Tom relates. "Now our family is happy and healthy and you
can't ask for much more than that!"
Both Mr. and Mrs. Parks will receive retirement checks from the railroad retirement fund.
He was a former member of the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees. The family
belongs to the Christian Church.
Tom Parks can't imagine how many miles he has covered on MoPac rails both afoot and in
his moto
