Caption: “This is a picture taken July 1968 at Chicago Heights when the Delmar section gang was called upon to clean up a wreck of #84 when someone vandalized the siding switch and four engines and over ten cars piled up. Left is Rick Ervin and right is his dad Lawrence Ervin. Behind them to left is section hand Bud McClatchey. Rick is working the summer on the section between high school days. We grew up at Faithorn together and are two days apart in age. His dad was track inspector out of Delmar at this time patrolling the north end and CMG. Lawrence’s dad was Lee Ervin who also was a track inspector who came from Milford. He worked until he passed in 1953.”
