Like you Uncle Bud I was a clerk in the Yard Office. I started out in 1944 as a call boy messenger then Joined the Navy in February 1944 when returned from service I worked as a Clerk. I was a yardmaster, Generalyardmaster, Asst. Trainmaster at Boyles Yard. >From Boyles I was transferred to Nashville as Terminal Trainmaster then to Mobile Alabama as Asst. Supt. Terminal and last to Chattanooga Tn as Terminal Manager retired in 1986 and am still in Chattanooga. Would love to have a copy of Trains, Stations etc; as I worked as an Extra Stationmaster in the old L&N terminal. Im not familiar with the names you mentioned but have a good friend that still lives in Bham and Ive written him to see if can ascertain some information about this. ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com
