(erielack) OS and Erie RR center siding call signs



OS -- On Sheet (or so I always thought)

Center sidings:
XY Waverly
QZ Addison
CN Cameron
CS Canaseraga

In 1993 Erie Railroad official P.R. Frisbie told me that he fired a westbound 
anthracite extra during the early 1920s, back when Erie still operated 
anthracite extras to Chicago (he said).  The power was two hand-fired Russians.  The 
train took siding at the Cameron center siding and he ran down the river to 
plunge his burning arms in the water.
