REACHH & REACHH Family Resource Center Activities for Oct. 14 - Oct. 21 Oct. 14: Baby Closet open @ REACHH, 12 noon - 3 p.m.;A1-Anon @ CAC, 8 p.m. Mr. Booth has penned his years of service on the railroad that is continued in this issue. CHICAGO DIVISION CHAPTER 5, PART 3 The diesels had been in operation now about six months and I determined that since the fireman had no function, he could be utilized. to our advantage• I therefore, developed a check list of several functions of the diesel and stated thereon that firemen were to go through the three unit consists on the hour while on the road and check off each item involving their operation. I went to Mr. Dunn with this proposal and he agreed with me it was a good idea. He said I should put the instructions into effect over my signature although approved by him. The instructions had been in effect approximately one week and my boss Mr. J. E. McLeod, the Chief Mechanical Officer was at Peru, when he received a phone call from the Operating Vice President, Mr. C. A. Taylor, telling him he would be in Cincinnati, Ohio on train #1 the next morning and he should meet with him on his office car on arrival for breakfast. He did not tell Mr. McLeod what he wanted to discuss so the rest of the afternoon I briefed Mr. McLeod on every conceivable facet of our operation. Mr. McLeod took my company car and went to Cincinnati and returned about 2 p.m. the next day. I knew from his demeanor something was wrong. He asked me to call Mr. Dunn and tell him to come to my office that we had something very important to discuss. When Mr. Dunn arrived, pleasantries were exchanged and Mr. McLeod told Mr. Dunn that he had been called to meet Mr. Taylor in Cincinnati. Mr. McLeod continued that upon his arrival on Mr. Taylor's office car, Taylor produced the form Mr. Dunn and I had issued to line of road personnel. "Who is responsible for this" he asked and added "by implementation of this form we have abrogated or nullified an agreement the railroad. It was a beautiful day in January of 1952, the sun was shinning brightly and it was real warm for that time of year. I was in my office when I heard Joey Bishop approaching my office. Without stopping he came right on in and announced in a loud voice, "Well, you Son of A Bitch, you are going to be promoted." "Wait a minute, Joe, Where did you get that information?" Joe explained that the Vice President's office had called Bowser Pump Company that morning and advised that they were considering me for a more responsible position and wanted a reaction from them how I had conducted myself in my dealings with them. He further stated that he wasn't sure what my title would be but it would either be General Master Mechanic or Superintendent of Motive Power. I had to that point heard nothing relating to this so I decided to be prudent and not ask any questions. I would know when the time came. On May 1, 1952, I was called by the Chief Mechanical Officer and told to be in Huntington on the 5th and have breakfast on his private car at 8 a.m. When I went into the car there sat the five Master Mechanics on the Western General Division along with two on the Eastern General Division and J. C. Smith who was Assistant Shop Superintendent. After breakfast Mr. McLeod pushed his chair back and Stated he had Called us there to make an announcement. He stated "Effective May 15th, Larry Booth will become General Master Mechanic of the Western General Division and his territory will extend West from Hinton, West Virginia, to Chicago, Illinois, North from Russell, Kentucky, to Toledo, Ohio, and South to Louisville, Kentucky and all subordinate lines covering the coal fi.elds on his territory. His salary will be $18,000 yearly. J. C.

I quickly that he was the senior Master your order in (466-4490) replied that I was the one who originated and compiled the form and therefore, I was responsible. Mr. Dunn sat there fully for a minute and responded. "I don't know whether you are or not. I am the General Superintendent of this division and I approved it." Turning to Mr. McLeod he further stated "I am the one responsible and will accept any criticism connected with it." By this statement, I was off the hook and I am sure I would have been fired had he not done so. With the diesels we knew we could make a round trip to Chicago and return to Peru without servicing. Therefore it was decided to build our own receiving yard at Chicago, manned with our own personnel, and sever all connections with-the Nickel Plate Railroad. Plans were drawn and construction started on the new Burnham Yard. This facility was located right at State line crossing between Illinois and Indiana adjacent to Hammond, Indiana. To insure that all our requirements were met, it was necessary for me to spend about three days per Week at that location coordinating delivery line interchanges with the B&O, C. T., Western Indiana, Belt Line, and other delivering roads. In addition I had to solicit, interview, and hire the necessary personnel to man this new operation and issue rules and regulations uhder which they were to work. Since travel even at that time was a problem, most of the personnel ve hired were former Nickel Plate employees because Burnham Yard was much closer to their homes. This later caused some problems which were easily corrected when they determined we were not going to accept mediocre attention to our equipment• After these minor difficulties were straightened out, our hot box and on line delays due to equipment failure fell to zero. At about the time construction of Burnham Yard commenced, Mr. • Dunn was promoted and moved to Richmond, Virginia, as Assistant General Manager. His replacement was a man 42 years old named Kenneth T. Reed from Grand Rapids, Michigan, off the Pere Marquette. Mr. Reed was a man of exact opposites in his method of operation and believed that any controversy must be settled between and by the people and departments involved. I was extremely fond of him and good rapport was established between us. He later became Executive Vice President on Mechanic and deserved the promotion. He further added that the enormity of the Western Region required someone with much more experience an d knowledge that he possessed and he could not believe that someone of my age and experience would be committed to that responsibility. I was 37 years old. After the meeting Mr. McLeod came to me and stated that was my initial exposure to Sam Garretson and it would be up to me to win him over and obtain his cooperation.
