? ? ? ? ?This is interesting! ? This must have been a double-header in both directions. ?Being paid at the local freight rate, does that mean that they worked switching at various places along the way? ?Pulaski? ?Richland at the Rome line? ?Adams? ?I suspect you can only guess as your Dad wrote down nothing more. ?
? ? ? ? ?Also, was he "on watch" on the 2nd engine going north, then fireman "assistant" on the lead engine going south? ?Being on watch must mean watching the gauges, etc., and/or watching out the left side of the cab. ?I'm presuming he 2nd engine would have an engineer and fireman. ??
? ? ?They would have gone by what I can "hear" now from my back yard. ?I can't see anything any more (except in winter) because of the foliage. ?The yard and engine facilities were a little further north then than they are now.
? ? I wonder why double-heading was necessary. ?The line seems pretty flat and level. ?Probably there are hills that don't readily appear.

10/8/48 B1Wx/DWx, power Alco class L-1b 4-8-2 2582 on B1Wx, Alco class L-2a 4-8-2 2785 on DWx, local freight rate, marked on DeWitt 11:45 AM, Cooper engine watch on Alco class L-2a 4-8-2 2751 on train B1Wx, marked off DeWitt 2:15 AM, on duty 14:30, paid $25.22 for 222 miles, S. Isham engineer, Cooper engine watch/fireman.

This was a turn job with B1Wx going north to Watertown and DWx going south back to DeWitt. Dad would have been assigned the engine watch on the 2751 going north. He probably assisted the fireman on the 2785 going south.

Al,
I looked it up on the map. Dad
may have spelled it wrong. Hyndsville, NY is about halfway between
Cobleskill and Seward on the Cherry Valley branch.
