Dispatcher’s sheets part 1

 

I had to clear out some old photos in the group in case these put us over group file limit. This is Tuesday 26 Jan. Note, Southern owned TAG at this point - since 1 Jan. - but TAG ran as always until being incorporated into the Crescent Div. in March. The separate typed and scotch taped on paper appears to be the days lineup.

This is so cool. As a child, I knew many of the men listed. Engineer Ira Hale is the one who allowed me to ride the cab with him from Gadsden to Menlo one morning. Quickly dropped me off and continued to Chattanooga. The flagmen listed, Shannon was killed in Gadsden one night getting caught between two train cars while making up the northbound train. Studdard is still alive living near Sandrock. They were also family friends.

David, I sure would love to talk to Mr. Studdard. I have the FRA accident report about Mr. Shannon. He had not been with TAG long. Someone I once met, said they knew his daughter. She was supposedly with UPS in Cartersville.?

The Shannons lived in Menlo when we arrived in 1964. His dad, Walt was M&W foreman at the time. They eventually moved to Leesburg and the kids, Tim and Freeda attended Sandrock School. We eventually lost track of them after Freeman's death.?

I found an obituary for Bobby's Studdards wife Dianne from 2018. Perry Funeral Home in Center. There are some good pictures of Bobby in the tribute section. I last talked to him over 15 years ago. But I assume he is still living in the house between Little River and Blue Pond.?
