Comments
She was in high school when World War II began, and with men in service overseas she soon found herself working long days and long nights as a switch tender on the Pennsylvania Railroad. At 19 Ruth was photographed at work in the yard, her photos being used as the basis for the Railroad’s well-publicized Molly Pitcher campaign.
