Conductor E. M. Osborne gives his "highball" as President Roosevelt's train pulls out from Union Depot after an early evening 15 minute whistle stop in Tacoma on October 1, 1937. Fifty to sixty thousand Tacomans lined the streets of Tacoma to catch a glimpse of the President as he entered the city by automobile from Olympia. More crowded into Union Station to hear his short speech. (T. Times, 10/2/1937, p. 9)
