trains as received by XD Telegraph Office in Youngstown.

You will note that the Tavern Lounge came off at Youngstown and Erie 127  
storage mail car was added.  That move would have taken two yard  crews---one to 
take the 790 off the rear and shove it to Brier Hill to turn and  one to take 
the SM car out of the Terminal Track (off of the EB Main at YO) and  place in 
train.  Note that the SM car was placed in the train as the third  car instead 
of directly on the head end.  No doubt for some particular  reason at Chicago.
