The cowboy has the job of riding in front of the train to try to help avoid horrible accidents.

Googling “train cowboy new york city” got the story.

I’ll go with 1930, relying on this site.

I have everything except the year. I know the decade, but I guess I might have to find this actual photo online to get the exact year…
