RE: [CBQ] Monmouth - Was Morse lost language

Lenny:
 
What did you remember about the signal bridge (bridges) at Monmouth?  Old maps 
suggest that there may have originally been two (at MP 179.05 and 179.13).  I 
have verified the one at 179.13, but am not sure about the other one.  Was it 
still up in 1967?  Thanks,
 
Glen Haug

Pete,

A little story about Morse, this happened in Monmouth. There were two operators 
in the office when a pretty young lady came to the ticket window.
One operator tapped out a short message about the young ladies looks. She 
smiled and thanked him, turned out she was a Western Union operator.

We still had a wire between the Q and C&NW (M&StL) in 67 at Monmouth.

I ended up with Paul's bugs after he passed away in January.
