Sandra the job occupation would fit in because I know at least two of my ancestors worked on the railroad and he was also an Engineer

Wondering if this could be the WW1 Draft for James Edward Ward. Born 30 th April 1880. Ocupation Loco engineer. Employert LVRR. Wife just given as Mrs James Ward of Weatherly. Carbon. PA

If the birth date is correct - should appear on the 1880 and 1900 Census.  (1880 was taken 1 st June 1880) Can't see him yet though

Not convinced we have the correct person because the middle initial is different.

Don't suppose you have any other clues which would help ?
