    4 men in South Anderson at the RIP track. The man second from the right may be Yo Burtin.

    Yo,Yo was his nick name.I have no idea why or where this came from.As they cut back on the rip track personal Frank Walden and Yo,Yo Burton were the only men left .They took care of all derailments short of the big hook both engine and cars and also did repairs in and out of the yards.LEW
