.... ~1 ..l.,L11:1 House. Rlue RIdge Mount;.lI'l::' Md. "We always liked to play ball. We'd make our own balls, sometimes. We didn't have a bat. We'd get an old brakeman's club. The brakemen used to have a big club, made out of hickory to put the club in the wheel. That's how they had to turn the brakes on, because they didn't have the brakes like they got now." - George Schlotterbeck 94 All Aboard!
