Re: C&O Office Car at Holly
The steam guys let go were boilermakers, pipefitters, shop guys. They didn't get out on the road and rather had a regular hour full time job at one place. Diesels made there jobs redundant and yes, masses of shop people were furloughed forever. Never saw them for the most part anyway. Here in Michigan PM/C&O steam was gone by the very early 50's if not sooner and they were too.
