Re: (erielack) EL Wreck Report for 3/27/75 (2)
The other two reports are similiarly small incidents,w/ the 3/20/75 incident
at Lordville resulting in the derailment of TC4 and 2 N&W cars, w/only 200
ties damaged, 75 of which were noted as needing replacement (w/ a notation
that 75 ties were already on site (?)); and the 3/23/75 incident at Gulf
Summit resulting in the derailment of one car on TC3...Time of occurance on
this was indicated at 1410, and rerailed at 1830 w/the help of the
Binghamton wrecker....
