Re: (erielack) EL Additional Riders for Football Games



Rick,
 
I recall the Olean, NY team coming to Warren via Train #7, The Pacific  
Express.  There were about three coaches full of players, band members, and  
parents.  The equipment was trucked to Mollenkopf Stadium from Olean  and the Warren 
Transportation Company busses met the train at Warren to take the  team to 
the stadium.  I recall the half-dozen busses lined up along the  south side of 
South Street along the gauntlet.
 
The team returned home on Train 686 which was scheduled out of Warren  about 
1051 PM, but was held that evening for about 20 minutes for the returning  
team as far as Youngstown.  A special train was operated with  three coaches 
pulled by # 1140, the Baldwin Road-switcher to Olean.   The coaches and the 1140 
returned on #11 from Jamestown the following day.
 
That is the only time I can recall Olean ever paying Warren.
 
SMT
