PROVIDENCE, R.I. – All aboard!! Amtrak is looking for retired Pullman porters to take part in a celebration on May 9 on National Train Day, the WJAR Web site reports. Pullman porters were considered goodwill ambassadors for America’s railroads and worked an average of more than 100 hours per week during the early part of the 20th century. They were, at one point, the largest group of employed African-American men in America, totalling more than 20,000. Retired Pullman porters, their friends and family, may contact Amtrak by calling Saunya Connelly at (202) 906-4164 or emailing her at connels@amtrak.com The ceremony will take place at the Amtrak 30th Street Station in Philadelphia.
