    3. Joy,When I worked for the Old British Railways at Canton Diesel Depot prior to 1981,One of our Foremen was named Freddie WESTERN. He had the nick-name of "Captain Sweat". His oppo on the Other Shift was Pat PAYNE,known as "Major Disaster". The former was a man who hated to see any of his Drivers & Firemen Sitting down,doing nothing.And would Invent "Moves" to make on the Shed. I.E;"Playing Trains!" The latter was a "Major Disaster Area"wherever he went,and was the utmost Jonah. "De-Railments"Happened Regularly on his shift! -- Graham Williams.of Canton,Cardiff.
