    I would be interested in anyone with an idea of what railroad this would belong to or what type employee would wear this?

      Why limit it to a railroad? The same design hat was worn by bus drivers, cab drivers, door men, valets, bell boys, subway employees etc. etc.

      One thing for certain the person had
      1404 person before them
      But what’s funny it is still
      number one in My eyes

      Or it could be his cab number, subway number, bus number or route number.

      Agree with fhrjr2.

      More than likely one of those mentioned and not a RR. I'd expect a railroad to have a railway/ job insignia on the cap or on the side buttons.
