(Was) my temporary office....
Back in the fall of 1978 my temporary laborers job ended on the Erie Western at Griffith, Indiana.
Then...I was offered another temp. job as midnight operator at "WR" in Huntington, Indiana. "WR" controlled the crosing of the Erie Western and the former Wabash Kansas City - Detroit mainline. Having little else going on I accepted.
This position lasted about three months until I was laid off from the Erie Western for good.
This was the board I spent my time at. At one time it controlled the Erie Lackawanna from Huntington to Aldine, Indiana. By now it controlled little more than the interlocking at Huntington.
I whiled away the hours here by looking over the many N&W trains and listening to really bad top forty radio out of Fort Wayne.
Interesting times for sure.
