I believe you are referring to my late Uncle Ed (aka 'Smitty' or 'Red') Smith of Downers Grove who passed away 2 yrs ago. He was night yardmaster @ Clyde for YEARS (& when he had enough seniority to

Gerald The preference of your uncle for "nights" as the Number One YM is not that unusual among old timers of that era...We had the exact same (is that redundant) situation on the Rock Island at Blue

I would often watch "Smitty" rule from his desk in the 'D' yard office as I waited for a dinky back home after arriving at Cicero. Also sat w/Smitty several times at 'HY' while he made up the house 9

Thanks for the info Leo. Must have been a packed house at the beginning of each shift with the 4/5 man crews. Today we all go on duty at the "Eastbound" (except two at Western Ave. and one at 14th St

??? What is the "transloading facility" at Congress Park? Charlie Vlk Today we all go on duty at the "Eastbound" (except two at Western Ave. and one at 14th St.) which I think is the east end office

Jeff, Its been 30 plus years since I sat and looked at the board at Clyde Rdhse but I'm fairly certain that in the early 70s there were around 72 or 73 jobs/week in the entire Chicago terminal. I cou

I will say the "transload center" is the old GW sugar plant at Congess Park. Seems to be almost as much activity now as back in the GW heydays. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] -

I have no idea what a "transload center" is. GW sugar plant was not at Congress Park. Was and is at Brookfield. For that example the BNSF currently has two SD's, Congress Park and Brookfield. "SD" cu

RussI don't know where the dividing line between the corporate boundaries of Brookfield and Congress Park lies, but I'd guess that it is probably the centerline of the Q tracks. If so, maybe not from

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 superviso
