The "VASCO"

[NW Mailing List]

I was only in there a few times for lunch when working the Empty Side Crew. I was shocked, the shelves were full of huge boom boxes, TVs,' etc. I was told men who needed cash  would buy something on credit, then sell it on the street for half the price. Of course, the item was deducted from their paycheck.  That is unless they only hauled empties that half!

You could charge stuff at the "Beanery" and they would take it out of your paycheck. One story that I heard was a Radford Div. Conductor had charged so much that he came home with a paycheck of $000.00. His wife asked where all of the money went and his reply was I didn't make anything because all that we hauled was empties!
