Is that one that LEW ran, Roger? Off topic--I got a letter from the NYCSHS stating that production of the Central "Headlight" had been temporarily curtailed due to the illness of editor Charlie Smith. I sure hope Charlie is OK, he is a great guy to work with on publications. The letter also said that Richard Stoving had volunteered to publish the next few. Based on Richard's latest NYCS books featuring Ed May's photographs, this is good news. :tb-sad: :tb-biggrin:
note: this is also during the "full crew law" days. And all the trainmen are out and "on the ground" during this move. I would bet this was a customer who received prompt and quick,custom tailored service. Those crewmen are "beating the ballast" for a reason. CT
Yes, Container Corporation got good service. Probably much better than today. And, no, I don't think that LEW ran this run. I'll have to check tho.
This is from LEW. This is the city job, went on duty 7: 30 am . It started at the wire factory, at your house, and progressed all of the way to the box factory, stopping at all industries on the way.This included setting off to the CI in the B-line passing track west of the depot where the Mich. turned to go north. Yes I worked it quite often as a fireman. No I never was an engineer on this job until diesels. It was an easy job for the fireman because it was just shifting cars ,no kicking. Had about 35-40 cars out of the yard. Lew
