Our Brotherhood Railway Carmen Division of TCU was founded at Cedar Rapids, Iowa on October 27, 1888. The first
By-Laws were adopted at Joint Convention in Topeka, Kansas, September
1890. Our union has merged with other railway unions four times, the most
recent being August 6, 1986. In July 1987, Convention action re-named the
union Transportation Communications International Union (TCU) effective
October 1, 1987. The Brotherhood Railway Carmen is a division of the TCU. The Union we call TCU today took root back in 1899 when, on a cold winter's evening shortly after Christmas, 33 railroad clerks gathered in the back room of Behrens' cigar shop in Sedalia, Missouri. That night, December 29, they formed Local Lodge Number 1 of a union they named the Order of Railroad Clerks of America. Today our range is extensive and complex, on and off the railroads throughout the transportation industry. But the union still runs on those same simple principles of democracy and full membership participation.  TCU International Headquarters: located outside of Washington, D.C. at: Union dues payments and inquiries should be
sent to Mr. Robert K. Reisinger,
Financial Secretary-Treasurer.

Fort Wayne Lodge is a
now a stand alone lodge, not affiliated with any Joint Protective Board. Lodge 6760 was originally formed as
Brotherhood Railway Carmen of America Lodge 67 in Fort Wayne, Indiana
about 1891 or 1892. The lodge became inactive after the devastating 1922 shopmen's
rail strike. In December 1934 the lodge received a new charter as Fort
Wayne Lodge 760 under the leadership of Henry R. Martin. The lodge number and name were changed
again in 1986 as a result of the formation of TCU under the terms of the
BRC-BRAC merger. Today, Lodge 6760 represents members in Michigan,
Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky. Regular meetings are held monthly, excluding
July, at one of the various cities of the lodge.
August Lodge Meeting Huntingburg will host the August Lodge meeting. The date and time will be posted here when scheduling is complete.
