Pete,

I can supply only a little information.  In the early 1970's, as I 
recall,
the trainmen on the Pocahontas Division had a "sick out," but the 
engineers
kept working.  Several of us from the office buildings (including a 
chemist
from the lab in Roanoke Shops) were sent to replace the missing train 
crews.
