Ken you have listed Russ Collins twice -- Russell Collins and Russell Collings. These are one and the same person. He was foreman of the Bridge Gang in the early 50s. Cookie had just been hired by the Monon at age 16 and was working out of Monon. Russ allowed Cookie to live with the gang in their camp cars while he was working. He ate with them and slept in the camp cars until the job was done.

I finally located my photo of the Bridge gang. This is actually a newspaper clipping. Russ Collins is on the right side of the table, closest to the camera.
