I Old "88" SPENT my boyhood days in a small town that was a railroad junction. The principal events each day were the arrival and departure of the through trains of the Parkersburg Division of the B. & O. Southwestern. All the boys in the neighborhood were more or less railroad crazy and had deep-laid convictions that they would ultimately handle the throttle or the conductor's punch. There were two of us with which the railroad passion struck more than all the rest. We knew the number of every passenger engine on the road. We knew the name of every engineer and every conductorthese being memorized from the depot train report book. We two boys had chosen our engines. My chum's was "61," I remember very well. A short smoke stack engine whose beautiful and distinguishing feature was its brass spread eagle just above the headlight. My engine was "88," in charge of Engineer Fenton-as fine and clean a railroad chap as ever tipped an oil can. We became fast friends with the engineers of our respective locomotives. Much was the excitement every day to learn whether it was 61" or "88" that was pulling the afternoon through-passenger. I remember one time I was disgraced for a week to find that my beloved "88" was pulling a special freight. But the passenger run was her main business. And I can remember to this day how beautiful that engine looked to me. |
