[CBQ] Re: Elephant Style Es

["Walter Ohrnell wohrnell@kc.rr.com [CBQ]" <CBQ@yahoogroups.com>]

Ed,

There is photo evidence that running elephant started before 1965. 

Bill Hirt eluded to a story I have told. I was an operator working in 
Burlington, IA. This incident occurred in late 1963 or 1964 the California 
Zephyr arrived in town. The lead unit was followed by two units running 
backwards elephant style. There was a control problem on the lead unit. When 
the train arrived the engineer was running the train from the second unit. The 
fireman was left in the lead unit to call signals. The engineer brought the 
train into the station just like he would have had he been up front. I can only 
guess the lead unit was replaced upon arrival in Galesburg.
