[QUOTE="Cliff Reuter, post: 7924770, member: 115140"]Very interesting thread. Never been to Great Barrington specifically but have many relatives that live there. My father used to visit his grandparents in GB in the 20's & 30's and work at the family coal and oil business, Hull Oil. He's not with us anymore, but actually had a photo of a coal car hanging from the track way up in the air. The track was elevated to get the coal to the top of a large pile. Another of our relatives worked at Mahaiwe Bank and their signature is on a $10 bill from 1929. (I got a replacement one for my Pops when the one he had burned up in a fire.) Thanks for the stroll down my Dad's memory lane.[/QUOTE]
