​The Union Pacific Railroad Station [at Old Carbon] is under the management of G. C. Randall, better known to the public as Tom Moon. He has been located here about seven years. The station is one of the most important ones on the road owing to the shipments of coal, and the force of clerks is kept very busily employed. The corps of assistants includes J. J. Buck, S. B. Runyan, and H. Dibble. (Wyoming and Its Future, Laramie Territory, 1887 Holiday Edition)
