"I Remember That!"  by  Tom Boylan

A little bit of a mishap at Greenwich in 1957 when the B&O and the NYC decided to meet

Here is Willard in 1973 with the boiler stack still up in the air and the water treatment tank is stillup in use

Good ol days in 1981 with the 614 pulling out from behind the old storeroom off the Sandusky branch approaching the tilting target for the diamond that crossed the mainline tracks to the Newark Div in front of the station and RX

Grand Trunk engines used to bring Q 398 to Willard The TORCO power was ready to go back to the Toledo ore docks on Q 397

TORCO 7802 before painting and number change

TORCO 7801 in Willard for its weekend service in the 80s The TORCO engines used to be brought into Willard from the Toledo ore docks for service and Q work on the weekends

Oh no ........... slippsies dont count. Engine lost its air and the handbrake did not hold

This was one of the last times this crane was in use,because awhile later they sold this crane and brought in a Seaboard crane which had to have alot of work done to it before it would even operate

CSX 1519 missed the table when the labor forgot to chalk the wheels and the engine shutdown ,lost the air and ??? These two engines did not have handbrkaes at the time

Not too long after CSX got the new C40-8 ,This 7524 was involved in an accident brought to Willard for temp repairs and then on to Huntington

A few years back this double ended cab unit rested in Willard on the ready track on its way from the South Shore RR to the B&O museum in Baltimore

EMD 103 was in Willard for a visit after being freshly painted for a special tour
