RE: (erielack) Tutti Frutti Oh Rudy, Erie Style
Just shows there's A--holes everywhere. One of my favorite memories is
visiting Scranton yard in the early 70s. I'd only been gone 2-3 yrs and
thought 'I'll go to the yard office & pick up an employee TT.' The
officious clerk on duty asked me 'was I an employee?' I said I had been for
11 years. Answer.........."If ur not one now, you are not entitled to an
employee TT. Oh, and you'd better leave the property." Hey, maybe he was on
a mission to 'save the railroad from dangerous ex-employees.
Regards,
Walt Smith
