Reply to "Question for the 765 crew regarding mid 1980's deadhead."

Friday June 7th, 1985, as listed below as "OWF" Youngstown to Buffalo.

My introduction to steam locomotives was actually the trip from Youngstown to Pittsburgh the previous weekend (really the day or two after the tornado outbreak on 5/31).  I digitized my parent's 8mm film from that trip a few years back, and you can see the tornado damage starting at 2:00.  Not sure if it was Saturday or Sunday, maybe some day I'll find my ticket stub that I thought I still had.
