Scope and content
Three-quarters portrait of J. P. O’Brien, general manager of the Oregon-Washington Railroad & Navigation Company, facing front and posing with a plaque. On the plaque is the following text, all in uppercase letters: “Railroad employees’ national safety contest / 1928 / Group C winner / Lowest total [text not legible] / Oregon-Washington Railroad & Navigation Company / Awarded by the National Safety Council.” A similar photograph, image No. 371N1907, was published on Page 9 of the Oregon Journal on Wednesday, June 5, 1929, under the headline “Safety First Dividend.” That photograph had the following caption: “Care and alertness in railway operations pays. Here is J. P. O’Brien, general manager of the O-W.R. & N., holding plaque awarded to line by National Safety Council for best and lowest accident credit in list of 22 American railways of its class.” Published with the photograph was a story about the award, headlined “O-W.R.R.&N. Wins Award for ‘Safety.’” Image note: The name “O’Brien” is written on the negative and is visible on the right side of the photograph.
