Triple Alliance of Miners, Railwaymen and Transport Workers started. Three locomotives and 132 wagons were buried and four railwaymen were missing. The miners had secured an agreement from the railwaymen that they would not handle coal. Some of the younger railwaymen found employment at the expanding Llanwern steelworks. The Russians evacuated Sarikamish, leaving two cavalry squadrons and 1,000 railwaymen to defend it. It became known as "Big Bertha" or "Big Emma" by railwaymen and railway enthusiasts. Cornelius Vanderbilt and William Salomon, among other leading American railwaymen sat on the board. Vishvakarman is a particular god of Hindu railwaymen in India. He played five times for the Railwaymen. The National Union of Railwaymen did not help. There and in Daberstedt there used to be numerous apartments for railwaymen. The unnecessary presence of these other railwaymen may have further distracted Tinsley from his duties. The IREC enforced the eight-hour day for railwaymen starting in January 1919. Five railwaymen and eight passengers were killed, and many more were injured. Tate made 26 appearances for The Railwaymen, helping them to maintain their League One status.
