Button description Uniforms probably not worn
Comment LSTCo horsecar drivers were not issued with uniforms (see link), and it is currently unclear whether conductors were treated likewise. Although there remains a possibility that uniforms were issued to conductors, no buttons have ever come to light, so it seems more than likely that marked buttons never existed.
