[CBQ] Pre 1900 crew conditions

[qutlx1@aol.com]

I just finished The Johnstown flood. If you want another reason to read the 
book there are very good descriptions of how the PRR was operating between. 
Pitts and Altoona, along with how T&E crews stayed on duty when things went 
bad. 

A couple crew members died in the flood because they were sleeping in a caboose 
after being on duty for an extreme period of time and stopped on the mainline 
for hours.
