Can someone please tell me what the census entry "Engineer (St.)" means? This person was a railroad engineer at one time. Thanks, Alice in KY
A stationary engineer was someone who took care of engines that didn't move (therefore, stationary). My great-grandfather worked in the Youngstown, Ohio steel mills, and was called a "stationary engineer". --- Dan and Alice Lee <danlee@scrtc.com> wrote: > Can someone please tell me what the census entry "Engineer (St.)" > means?

Stationary engineers and boiler operators start up, regulate, repair, and shut down equipment. They ensure that the equipment operates safely, economically, and within established limits by monitoring meters, gauges, and computerized controls. Stationary engineers and boiler operators control equipment manually and, if necessary, make adjustments.
