[CBQ] Clyde Yard

["Charlie Vlk" <cvlk@comcast.net>]

Leo's post about transfer runs reminds me of a true legend that I'd like to see 
recorded.
During the 60's there was a Clyde Yard Manager (I don't know his position or 
title, but he had some supervisory authority
that allowed him to do the deed) that would somehow "arrange" things so that 
foreign road transfers couldn't get their 
caboose, hack, van, crummy, buggy, cabin, waycar, or whatever they called it 
for the light engine trip back home.   The goal would
be to collect as many different road's cars as possible in a shift.
I believe the guy was a relative of a member of the society.   
I sure would like to see the story (with the truth and all colorful urban 
legend embellishments added/set straight)
in writing in a future BRHS publication.
