“Inside the series of harassment being meted out to me, a professionally very very ready, honest and upright officer with the aid of a cabal of officials of doubtful man or woman … I discovered it my responsibility to show the involved railway board officers as I’ve constantly executed.,” the engineer stated in his letter.
