Shanklin at "OX" Cabin, Moss Run VA I had a deep respect for the men at OX as well as those working at the other offices along the line. The men on third trick, 11:00 p. m. until 7:00 a. m were William R. Boyd at "MX" Cabin; Raymond E. Sampson, father of James R. Sampson, at Hilldale. Homer H. Nickell was at'AD" Cabin, Alderson and Herb D. Crizer at Ronceverte. Tode B. Green at "WS" Cabin, White Sulphur Springs and A. Jack Smith at 'A" Cabin, Alleghany, VA. and Harry A. Pfadt at "BS" Cabin. There was very little work at OX cabin which gave me plenty of time to ea~]esdrop on the train dispatchers' phone. I longed to visit and sit in at Allegheny, White Sulphur Springs, Ronceverte and MX cabin because those offices seemed to be the busiest except for train dispatcher Mr. Elliot T. Bruce at Clifton Forge which was, at that time, completely beyond the range of my aspiration. Most of the telegraph operators on Alleghany Subdivision set their Morse Code on a common hand set called a key but not Herb Crizer. Mr. Crizer used a vibroplex we called a "bug." His sending was challenging to a novice. The call letters for his office were "RV." He made a perfect R but his V, three dots and one dash, was more like six dots and one dash. With experience, we learned them all and had no trouble reading each individual except some like Lawrence Mason in "F" office at Clifton Forge. He and some others had a style of their own, losing speed through error in an effort to be fast. Back to Herb Crizer at Ronceverte.
