BYRON C. MOORE, Susquehanna, Pennsylvania.
Byron C. Moore, who is now running freight between Susquehanna and Hornellsville, received his promotion at the extreme youthful age of 19, having demonstrated his entire fitness for the responsible position by firing two years and ten months, one year of which was on passenger. The son of Charles B. Moore, a prominent farmer of Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania, he was born in Montrose, that state, August l, 1870, and attended both public and high school in his native town until he was 16 years of age. Equipped with a fine school education, he began his active life as a hammer boy in the Susquehanna shops, and six months afterward he was advanced to fireman. His natural ability and desire to succeed soon placed him among the best of fireman, and on July l, 1890, his efficient service was rewarded with promotion to engineer at an age when few men are trusted with a locomotive. Since his promotion he has run exclusively on freight between Susquehanna and Hornellsville, and has many times demonstrated his ability and judgment as an engineer. Mr. Moore is a member of B. of L. E., Division 137, and is very popular with his brother engineers. Being single he resides with his widowed mother in Susquehanna, and is one of the city's rising young men who has a fine future before him.

From the November, 1918 issue of Erie Railroad Magazine:
B.C. Moore, Susquehanna Div. engineer, while in charge of engine 528, hauling train 444, detected a broken rocker arm at Hickory Grove, and despite this defect he brought the train into the terminal without a failure.

From the September, 1923 issue of Erie Railroad Magazine:
B.C. Moore received recognition for the prompt manner in which he handled engine 2910 hauling train 7, when it had a broken main rod east of Canisteo, and got the engine in shape so that it arrived at Hornell with its train but ten minutes late.

From the May, 1929 issue of Erie Railroad Magazine:
A reader in Owego says it would be fine if the Erie would put distinguishing labels on the Moore boys, B.H. and B.C., engineers on fast passenger trains Numbers 1 and 2, according to the Susquehanna Transcript. B.C. shoots by on one train, and a few minutes later B.H. whizzes by in the other direction. Many people around Owego think it is the one and the same Moore who is travelling in both directions at the same time. It has been suggested that B.C. wear a pink carnation and that B.H. wear a white rose. Thus the natives of Owego would be able to prove that the same engineer does not ride both trains at the same time. In other words, there is more than one MOORE engineer on the Erie.

From the October, 1937 issue of Erie Railroad Magazine:
Susquehanna Division Engineer B.C. Moore of Susquehanna was retired on the new Federal Railroad Retirement statute recently at age 67, after 49 years, nine months of service.

From the March, 1938 issue of Erie Railroad Magazine:
The Moore brothers, Bryson H. and Byron C., Erie passenger engineers, have been parted by death, the former having died suddenly while coming away from a visit with Byron C. They were inseparable companions and resembled each other so much that only their nearest friends could tell them apart. Both lived in Susquehanna and for years piloted passenger trains 1 and 2 until their retirement last year.

Along the Susquehanna Division, "There goes BH" meant that a speeding express was whirling along and would arrive on time at the end of the division. In piloting trains 1 and 2 in former days, the brothers generally passed each other at a point along the division. At one time the two trains forming the Southern Tier Express combination, arrived and departed from the Susquehanna station at about the same time. "B.H." would step down from his engine on the arriving train, register at the station, and then watch to see brother "B.C." leaving on the westbound train.

Mr. Moore was 68 years old, and had 51 years of service with the Erie.

He is survived by his wife, his mother, Mrs. Olive Moore, a daughter, Mrs. Donald Agler, and two sisters, Mrs. Charles A. Brown, Oakland, and Mrs. C.E. Masters, Watervliet, and two brothers, Byron C. of Oakland, and R. Bruce, of Bakersfield, CA.

From the September, 1939 issue of Erie Railroad Magazine:
Byron C. Moore, 69, retired Erie engineer, died in his bath in his home on Westfall Avenue, Susquehanna, August 5 (1939). His brother, Bryson H. Moore, also an Erie engineer, died suddenly in April, 1938. They were inseparable companions and looked much alike. For many years they piloted Erie passenger trains 1 and 2 and established a tradition for meeting schedules regardless of obstacles. Their trains arrived and departed from Susquehanna station at about the same time. "B.H." would step down from his engine on the arriving train, register at the station, and then watch to see brother "B.C." leaving on the westbound train. Each had more than 50 years service. Surviving besides his widow are his mother, Mrs. Olive Moore of Willow Avenue, who is past 90, and four children, Kenneth of Hornell; Mrs. Hugh Devens of West Nanticoke, PA; Mrs. Russell Vincent of Great Bend; and Miss Helen E. Moore of New York. Also surviving are a brother, R.B. Moore of California and two sisters, Mrs. Charles A. Brown of Oakland, and Mrs. Clarence Masters of Watervliet, NY.
