1971, spotted west of Hohman Avenue, an Erie Lackawanna RS-series Alco roadswitcher, busy with a westbound and very small transfer move.

In the immediate background, the former Hammond auto park & storage building, then operated as a boat dealer. Your webmaster had spent the summer of '75 as a freelance fiberglass and paint specialist, performing boat repairs and refinishing. My memories of Gallagher's are mostly of itchy fiberglass dust, though they did pay well for my labors.
