High Noon Shen. Div. Pt. 2 - Did you notice?

[NW Mailing List]

     I was just flipping back through the second installment of High 
Noon on the Shenandoah Div. and noticed something through the smoke and 
the haze that I hadn't before. In the photo that graces pages 14 - 15, 
look just to the left of the top of the "Tell-Tell" pole to see the 
Waynesboro Switcher's engine sitting in the spur track that parallels 
Commerce St.. This spur was used to store the dining car at one time. 
Then, standing on the platform, just in front of the bench seat, appears 
to be the station agent that O.Winston Link made famous...Troy 
Humphries. Note too, that this photo was taken before the concrete wall 
was put in between the mainline and the yard and the steps going up the 
bank. The "Six Foot" (pathway) between the bank and the mainline never 
looked that "manicured" in all of my years on the line!
