He hired out on the old Delaware Lackawanna RR as a fireman February, 07-1926. He was promoted to engineer on August, 20-1948. The last Roster that I find him on is 1969 he is not on the 1970 roster or any one after that. I Fired for him on many occasions. I hope that this helps who ever is looking for any information on Vince he was a great man to work with. E. Lee Horney retired engineer Erie Lackawanna RR Hope this helps you out. Bill Kelton also relates that Vince was a BLF&E/ UTU-E member of Local 800. You can also get information from the Railroad Retirement Board. John Boehner ------------------------------
