<P mce_keep="true">Since I worked only in Illinois, I don't know about other states. But along the route of the old C&A - later GM&O, ICG, CMW, SP and now UP - the road that was there first signed the pay checks of the tower employees. Thus Iles (Springfield) had 'Wabash' employees, Joliet had CRIP employees, but Corwith had C&A lineage employees. </P> <P mce_keep="true">I worked at Corwith and would not let ATSF freight trains, leaving or entering the yard, hinder the passage of our trains - much to the chagrin of the Corwith Yard Master, an ATSF employee; but I was within my rights if you go by the rule book of that time. </P> <P mce_keep="true">Now who actually is footing the bill for the tower and employees is determined by the original contract signed by the original two roads.</P> <P mce_keep="true">Art </P>
