Re: (erielack) Perishables To Cleveland

Rick & others....

            I've followed the discussions about the EL using the NYC line to 
Phalanx, & tried to remember how we worked the job from Cleveland to Kent & 
back. I seldom caught it since it was a overnite roundtrip. I usually stood 
for 192/177 to Meadville which had a layover there. I'd been furloughed out 
of Brier Hill and was on the Xtra board at 55th Street in Cleveland. As I 
remember, we went into Leavittsburg yard, ran around the train and headed 
west with the old RS-3s  on the other end. Coming back was the same move but 
I was so tired by this time that the train could have gone to Hoboken for 
all I knew. This was 1960 or so and I don't ever remember going onto the NYC 
to return. Sorry I can't contribute more here. Oh, yes.......occasionally 
there'd be hot cars for the May Company in Cleveland and the returning 177 
would be put over the cutoff instead of weevilling thru Sharon, Youngstown, 
Niles and Warren.

Regards,

Walt Smith
