(erielack) Thirty Years Ago----



I was called to work off the NY Division Erie Lackawanna Oprators Extra Board 
to go work PO (Port Jervis) Ticket at the time a ticket office and train 
order office for both the Delaware Div and NY Division. 

It was late October early November 1974 and the Color of the season was a 
blaze in the Shawgunk Mt's.

 I remember it was 3:00 PM and I was being relived by another operator for 
his shift and I was listening to the local radio station in Middletown, NY 
providing the play by play of the football game between Port Jervis HS and 
Middletown, NY. 

What a treat to here a local high school football game on the radio while 
working. I was so engrossed with the game I never left work (the office) until 
the game was over at around 6:00 PM !
