  Harry:

  Appreciate your reply.

  Do you (or does anyone) know whether there was in fact a shanty between Boaz and Bonsack in the '50s, and likely earlier? And hard by the EB mainline, as in the Link shot?

  You speak of "Little K" Tanner.  Long shot, but is this the Bill Tanner to which David Plowden refers in my 3 September post?

  And Link's assistant, David Plowden--still around to your (or anyone's) knowledge?. 

  If one of these eyewitnesses to the Highball shot could be reached, he should be able to put to rest any questions.

  Hope the hurricane gave the light touch to your NC area.

  Sorry to prolong this discussion.  And thanks to every respondent.

  As a retired preacher, my field is theology.  But along the way I studied law, too, and learned the importance of sleuthing down the concrete story.

  Frank;

  On the way to tidewater yesterday (to check for hurricane
  damage to my N.C. property), I took a detour at Disputanta.
  That's where traffic control turns into double track ABS
  going east.   The shanty I detoured trains from in early '71
  was gone, so was the pole line, and the CPL signals.  Don't
  think I'll find a shanty between Boaz and  Bonsack.
