Re: [CBQ] No good deed goes unpunished

I haven't read this article, but I assume the question about the "building" was 
referring to the former railroad building that housed the Burlington truck 
line.  If so, the South Pearl Street building is still standing and is 
currently occupied by Robins Pallets.  They construct the wood pallets that the 
forklift trucks use to lift goods with.  Surprisingly, this business continues 
to function in this dying town.  From what I've been told all of the building 
is there.  Nothing has been torn down.  

I know a fella named Joe Swain.  Mr. Swain worked for the CB&Q and later the 
BN.  He was company officer that did the hiring and firing.  Today his title 
would be human resources.  Anyway, I remember him telling me that his office 
was located at the South Pearl Street building.
