>Never knew a Henry Berkshire, did know a Harry B. Berkshire. He was hired by the SP from the B&M in 1976 as VP Engineering by DKM and RLK. He passed away while in service in about 1983.

Henry, Harry, big deal, I was in operating, not M/W. The story I heard was that he was forced out and then passed away. Right or wrong, and whether the events were connected or not, SP's quality of track maintenance went downhill after he left.

>Rode the NO.1 track many times, before, during and after HBB's realm.

Well, goody for you. Every time I went over it, it was Mr. Toad's Wild Ride at 30 mph through the tunnels and showsheds over the top. Elsewhere it was no different than the rest of the Mountain.
