List,

As I was looking up the C&O merger article, I happened to run by this
article. It is from the Buffalo Evening News of August 23, 1926 buried on
page 6. A child killed by an Erie policeman and right next to it a DL&W
employee who died after having both legs cut off right in front of the
passenger depot. Today that would be front page headlines and the public and
politicians would be calling for investigations and indictments. But in
1926, it was just a minor news item buried on page 6!

Not a good day for the Erie and DL&W police.
