Ishpeming:- .. . A day or so ago, when one of the South
Shore passenger trains stopped at a flag station a few miles
west of here, the first class coach happened to be stopped so
that each platform of the car was beyond the short station
platform. A person could not get on the car without going.
down from the depot platform and then stepping up into the
car. This a solitary young lady passenger refused to do. The
conductor did not propose to back up his train just for the
lady to step into the car when she could so easily get on by
stepping down on the ground and then getting on the car steps,
so after yelling "all aboard" a couple of times he gave the ‘all
right" signal and the train pulled out. The young lady's home
is in Ishpeming, and she had to walk home that night. ..
