I can personally attest to the video game effect of flying down that road
between Canisteo and Addison in the late-70's/early-80's, in my case chasing
Conrail freights (in my younger, less careful days). Those trains were
really moving.

I don't recall now when he hired on, but I think it was some time in the mid
60s. That would make his opportunities for travel on EL's passenger trains
rather limited. I'm not sure I'd want to chance missing the call by relying
on freights. He would have gotten either one in Wavely in any event. His
stories of close calls always involved  travel down the road along the
Canisteo at harrowing speeds never meant to be attained on that road. I
don't know what he did in the bad weather. That would have posed a serious
problem here in the winter.
