Re: (erielack) re:NJ&NY
That wasn't the only trip! There were TWO PAs running! The 16 and 18. I was
hostling in Secaucus when the first one came by eastbound on the Bergen
County that morning. We were sitting on a set of SD-45s on fuel track 1 when
Ike Jersey the laborer yelled up #$%&*%# HERE COMES ANOTHER ONE!!! Well all
you saw were butts and elbows flying out of the cab as the other hostler and
I tried to get over to the tracks to get a shot, Oh well, a second chance
and we missed it! A few days later in the early morning when I reported at 3
a.m. for the shop hostler job, that Night General Foreman Chester Jablonski
and I were standing outside the roundhouse stall doors, going over what I
had to set up, when I saw a silver rear end of an engine sitting on fuel
track 2. I asked him what it was (as if I didn't know), and he said NEVER
MIND THAT! Get this done THEN you can play!!! I hadn't yet seen the one that
was out of sight on the farm track next to stall 6, not 50 feet from us. We
put the two dead (ughhhh) PAs together with D&H U-30C 706 later that morning
for the trip home on a westbound freight.
