My husband worked on the Erie, and then the name was changed to the
Erie-Lackawanna Railroad, until he retired.His grandfather worked on the
Erie too, many years ago. The Erie -Lackawanna became Conrail, and my
husband worked on Conrail in Ohio until he retired. My husband worked on
the railroad 1950- to 1986. If you go to Yahoo, type in Erie Railroad,
Huntington, Indiana, you will find information there too. I believe there
is pictures of the old Erie Depot, and in color too. The Depot burned
down several years after the railroad had gone. If you dig deep enough into
the information, you might find the roster of of all the men who worked on
the Erie Railroad. Phyllis Kline

Subject: [INHUNT] Railroads in Huntington
I was wondering if anyone could tell me the name of the railroad
company
that operated through Huntington in the early to mid 1960s. My dad told me
before he passed away a few years ago the name, part of it was Erie. He
was a fireman on it, and he said that when he went for a trip that he was
gone 3 days, I think part of the line went to Chicago as well. But there
were several stops. I would really like to hear from anyone who may of
worked for the railroad at this time as well. My dad was Dean Sharp. He
was also telling me about a girl friend at the time, never gave her name,
but that she would drive him in his car to the station and pick him up when
he came back, but never filled up the tank, much to his chigrin. Dad
graduated from Lancaster High School in 1961 so the time period would of
been from say 61 to 66. I don't know how long he worked this job.
Thanks, and Happy Father's Day. Andrea Sharp Long
