Re: C&S Enginemen

The Clear Creek was part of the East End, all those guys worked off the Denver Board.
The guys bumped out on the East End were those with the least seniority from all the other divisions, since all worked out of Denver.
To start off, turns out of Leadville were given first to the West End guys with most seniority, but right afterward, those runs were opened to any East End men who wanted them if they had seniority to hold them. This was what was deemed so unfair to the Como guys.
Now I must say that Doug, who went on the Extra Board at Como in 1927, had the certain impression that even his 10 years of working regular, but always off the extra board would not give him the slightest opportunity to support his family in Denver.
