Holly was "HY". Not sure what you mean by Black River Jct -- is that the former PM/C&O tower by the drawbridge? C&O's office call for Port Huron was "HU" -- don't know if that tower had a separate office call. Back in 1970 when "breaking in" at Port Huron I was taken over to that tower in the middle of the night and had to lower and raise the bridge one time and was never over there again. Back then, they used to use the bridge sometimes for head room for the train out of Saginaw to double over into the yard. Later, they had them set out part of the train east of Tappan so they didn't need the bridge.
