Re: (erielack) Named Freight Trains



Or course, Walt.  That makes sense for the BU-ll, and the other side of 
the job, UB-22.  My 1967 time table shows it as BU-19 so I didn't pick 
up on the connection with the symbol.  The symbol doesn't show running 
to Scranton, only Binghamton and return.

For some reason that crew had a habit of running through switches in 
Liberty Street Yard in the wee hours of the morning.  The D&H owned the 
yard and maintained it, and it was leased to EL.  We had to come out to 
repair the switch, about two or three times per week while I was Track 
Supervisor at Oneonta.  That's another story.
