I REMEMBER IN 1967 I HAD A DELIVERY TO THE E180ST.STATION[NY,W&B] I SAW A NHRR SWITCHER PUSHING A STRING OF BALLAST CARS UP THE INCLINE TO LAY THEM UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TRESTLE.THIS BLEW MY MIND! WOW!A RAILROAD TRAIN ON "SUBWAY"TRACKAGE. WHEN I GOT TO THE STATION A LOW-V.WORK TRAIN WAS GOING TO HOOK UP THE CARS,NATURALLY I JUMPED ON BOARD.WE WENT FROM THE S/B TRACK TO THE N,B TRACK.WHAT WAS REALLY UNUSAL WAS THE THE M/M OPENED UP THE LEFT DOOR,PUT THE REVERSE KEY IN "NEUTRAL"LEFT THE CONTROLLER AND WAS LOOKING OUT THE OPEN DOOR.I THOUGHT HE WAS GONNA JUMP!WE MADE THE HITCH& PULLED THE CARS INTO THE STATION WHERE I GOT OFF.I,M PROBABLY THE ONLY ONE ON THIS BOARD THAT RODE THIS VERY UNUSUAL SECTION OF TRACKAGE' |
