I do not believe that "Norman Young" is the same as "Norman Youngs".   I knew Tobe you and I never knew him to work in Indpls.

I think Sharon is right about Tobe.  If you check a Lafayette switchmen's seniority roster, I think you'll find him on there.  As far as I know he only worked regular in the Lafayette yards, and not on the north end.  / Ron
