That's the Akron Beacon Journal time and temperature display. |
| Description: |
On January 26 1978, I came to work for my 3rd trick job. It was 44 degrees at 11:00PM. By quitting time, it was -6 degrees and we were in the middle of the worst blizzard in Ohio History. |

One time HQ for BF Goodrich Tire Co. |
| Description: |
A part of the plant can be seen to the right. We had to switch BFG on the night of the Blizzard of 78. It was so bad by morning that we locked the engine inside the plant and were transported back to Pennsy's South Akron Yard by our Trainmaster. It would be 3 days before the rr ran again. |

The Storm Front has passed overhead. |
| Description: |
The signals would soon tell of an approaching eastbound. As the stiff wind circles around the car, I was reminded of the night of 1/26/1978 and the terrific storm we worked through. It's well documented on the web how much of a storm that was. |

Missed it by one. |
| Description: |
The 8886 was a former EL SD45-2. I like that they put bigger numbers on the far side. Better for the old man to see. |

Heading east at Voris St. |
| Description: |
It was 60 degrees at noon, it's 46 now and will get cold enough to snow tonight. Not quite the Blizzard of 78. I was just remembering. |
