| The road power from the Monett Turn has just dropped its train at Springdale, and will be heading to the engine house. Lead unit 62 was named "George Hockaday" for the famed Alco employee who kept many an Alco running long after the company quit in October 1969. In the 1980's and 90's, when I lived in Binghamton NY, I would occasionally encounter him while out chasing on the D&H, first under Guilford, then in CP hands. He was a real gentleman. |
