Remember well the NKP growing up in Fremont, Ohio. late 1950's - early 1960's and living just a few house from the NKP - Former LE&W - Lake Erie and Western. Starting working for N&W in June 1971 as tower operator - clerk Fostoria, Ohio and retiring from Norfolk Southern - Fostoria, Ohio - 2001. Many travels during those years. Working in different states Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Virginia. Its been a good and exciting life and would do it over again. My greatest access was not so much the railroad but my fellow co-workers. Eddie Durnwald Fostoria, Ohio Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 10/16/17 09:47 by Thoroughbred-Ed. |
