My grandfather was foreman at the Manchester NY Yard. Uncles and my own father worked in the area of Buffalo and Manchester. I'm trying to find out if my great-grandfather worked on the Leigh. I have a photo booklet that includes employees enjoying a party on the premises, at Manchester, I would assume. I do not know the year, but would guess the 1950's.

My father knew the enginer, so my brother and I took a ride from Noxen to Hanson's amusement park which was about 4 miles,and got of the train under the roller coaster,to everyone's amazement. The train ,I think it was one box car and one gondola car pulled by a small diesel engine. Is it possible to find out what the engine number was? I am sure it was in the summer. Thank you.

My brothers and I were just kids when he was bit by the rat. When he went to the Hospital he was allergic to the shot they gave him and that complicated matters. I loved how my mom called the Lehigh the Leaky Valley because of it's constant money problems. I always wondered how it continued to run. The only answer is the employees. Engines that should have been turned into scrap were kept running by every mechanical and electrical trick known to man. You fellows on the line worked wonders long before two way radio. I met a retired Con Rail Boss several years ago he said "those Valley Guys were a pain in his rear but that they were great railroaders." I laughed and told him it was all in the family. He said said "yeah it was a family road." Happy Thanksgiving Jim and Thanks for the good words about my Dad. He always loved the Valley and the guys. Kenny Bulger I remember you Jim .
