King Chats With Old Railwaymen.

When the King and Queen arrived at Euston Station, back from Scotland recently, nine grey-haired men, retired engine-drivers of Royal trains, were presented to their Majesties by Sir Josiah Stamp, President of the L.M.S. Railway Company. The average age of the nine old engine-drivers was 73, and between them they have driven Royal trains 20,000 miles. In charge of other trains of the ordinary services they have travelled 20,460,000 miles without an accident of any kind.
