(erielack) W E Flight

[Smtimko_@_aol.com]

Picked this up today via a former E-L man.............
 
W E Flight was the last EL Superintendent on the Mahoning Division and the  
first non-PRR man to become Superintendent in Altoona for the Conrail  
Allegheny Division.  This occurred in October 1979 after the former PRR and  EL 
divisions were merged in Youngstown.
 
His other positions included Trainmaster and/or Road Foreman in Hoboken,  
Trainmaster in Youngstown, Supt of the Buffalo Creek RR, System Road Foreman of  
EL.
 
Bill was a gentlemen, fair and truthful, and 100% railroad.  I  remember him 
at the throttle of the Reading 4-8-4 at Johnsons, Ohio in the early  years of 
Conrail.

Dorothy Flight, wife of Bill Flight (former Division Superintendent  of  CR
Allegheny Division, and former System RFE for EL) passed away  August 26  
after a long battle with cancer. 
 
Bill and Dot had been married for 61 years and have two  sons.

For those who might want to give their   condolences:

William  E. Flight
2636  Niagara Way
Grand  Island, FL 32735
