According to Woody Ralston, of fond memory, L.R. Allen was the engineer on the barrel transfer in the 1940s. Mr. Allen was on the narrow gauge board, hiring out as a fireman on 2-25-1905 and promoted to engineer on 9-27-1909. He was No. 3 on the narrow gauge board on the July 1, 1946 list. He was the engineer on the Mears Junction runaway in 1935.
I don't know if there was a standard engineer assigned to the transfer as well.
