Asylum Lead

[NW Mailing List]

Harry -
 
Thanks!  I came to the Barney Yard in early 1984.  I remember  some GP- 7s 
& 9s, and SW 1500's'  I don't think we had any SD 9s left  at Norfolk 
Terminal.  I was hoping to make the annual meeting, but we've  just got ttoooo 
much going on.

The  Asylum Lead was on the Pittsburgh Division near Navarre, OH.   
Originally
the  branch had served a hospital in Massillon, but had been cut back to an 
 industrial
park with  a cement plant and an 84 Lumber Company.  To serve those
industries,  it was a "run by and back up the hill" arrangement and the 
trainman
riding  the head car had to bail off and run like heck to flag a 
non-signaled  county
road.                                              Harry  Bundy
