Gutsy move, Walt, but if it was me I would have stayed on 'til Binghamton. Great story, though. Paul B Luckily, I slept with my boots on & only had to jump up & grab my grip & be out the back door. Snow blowing around the rear between the cabooses , 3AM and dark, and the increasiing roar of the 2 pushers getting a run for the climb to Clark's Summit. I could faintly see the lights of the old yardoffice across from Bridge 60 tower and I bailed off the steps into the foot or 2 of snow. Nobody was watching as I hit & rolled a time or 2. The 2 big FMs passed & their markers faded to the other side of the Lackawanna River. I picked up my grip & began the long walk back to the parking lot on Cedar Avenue. Hey, I'd cheated death again & learned a good lesson. The Erie Lackawanna Mailing List Sponsored by the ELH&TS http://www.elhts.org ------------------------------
