I did not start until 1965, but I suspect that you worked the Monitor's Job  
and you were adding up the "Cars Handled" for the day.  I seem to recall  that 
the Monitor handled that work.
 
In later years, there was a 3rd Trick Operator Clerk that "traced the  
trains"....which meant, took the passing times from the train sheet for  terminals, 
such as Kent, Meadville, Salamanca, and Hornell and put the facts and  figures 
on a lightweight "tracing paper", a preprinted form, which was used by  the 
Supt, Asst Supt, CTD, etc the next day to review the operation after the 3rd  
Trick Monitor typed the sheets.
 
Sure wish I had kept some of that stuff when it was being thrown out.
