I was working a yard job in Penn Centrals Wavely yard Newark,NJ. On April 2 my self and four other PC engineers were to meet Lehigh Valley Superintendant Nocitra and begin qualifying physical characteristics over the old LV mainline from Johnston ave ,Jersey City to Port Reading jct in Manville NJ. Like it or not we were all one big railroad now !
