He worked in the roundhouse in St. Louis, MO. He played in the Missouri Pacific Booster's Band. (I think this was an all African American Band) This band played at many functions including once at the governors ball. I do not have a SS or Railroad number. Do you know how I can contact the RR Archives? Any help would be greatly appreciated There are 13 Robert W. Hubbards in the SSDI. Do you know his birth, death or location of death. From there you can get his social security number. I think in many cases the railroads use the SS number. There is a railroad retirement board. What was his job? I know a man who has some information on Engineers and Firemen of the Missouri Pacific Railroad and I have a seniority roster for Engineers (can't remember the exact year at the moment). Mary
