Jimmy Lisle

Terry,

                The "Jimmy" you heard  the yard master talking to was
probably Jimmy Boyd, a brakeman.  Vardo Yard used to have its own joint
employees which were paid both by PC/N&W. When this system was abolished the
joint employees had to choose a position with either Penn Central or Norfolk
& Western. All the joint employees, as I recall, chose PC which  operated
the yard in those times, except Jimmy Boyd. So when Jimmy came in on a train
he was treated like a long lost member of the family.

Jimmy Lisle - are/were you an engineer on NS into/out of Hagerstown ? I can
remember the Vardo Yard Master greeting a "Jimmy" - I would hear those
clever conversations on my scanner as I was track side.

 

Regards,
