Other jobs Chard worked were the old "86" clerks job in the Dispatcher's office at San Bernardino. This job had the responsibilty of preparing the daily divisional delay report that was forwarded to the General Manager and officers in Chicago. I think I recall him commenting that it was not one of his favorite jobs. In Barstow he was the Second Trick Towerman at West Barstow and IIRC the second trick telephoner/clerk at Victorville also. Bob Wagner that was mentioned in another post is another retired railroader was a Towerman-Agent-Telephoner(telegrapher) and a very good friend; does anyone recall any jobs they worked together? Andy
