He was a strange fellow . . ."LOL *strange* is an understatement. He was nuts. His reputation preceded him. I was a brand new switchman and I got one of his "motorman, I need this train out of Brighton Yard in 10 minutes" requests. Yeah, right. I had 45-minutes to make up the train and I was not going to lose my job for him. The interval was ABDed. I did not (could not) know it at the time, but I think it was Askins who came up to me on morning as a B/O on the Q3A to complain that someone was smoking on the bus. Of course, I had to go through the routine; whether it was effective, I don't know, but he didn't come back to the front of the bus either. Austin and Faison I did not know. |
