Re: [CBQ] Student Trips

Pete and group,  We hired out at Hannibal but were sent to Galesburg  
on #55 at 4 or 5 in the AM.  After testing and fingerprints etc, we  
were sent to the roundhouse to work the Lewistown Local called for 1  
pm.  This job went to Yates City then down to Lewistown and back to  
Yates City then over to Peoria and back to Galesburg.  176 miles for  
the trip.  Died a horrible death at Knoxville 16 hours after we were  
ordered just a few miles short of Galesburg.  By now we had been up  
for over 24 hours.  A few hours before we died my head was bouncing  
off the cab window.  The grouchy old engineer told me to go back to  
the second motor and that I would never make it as a railroader.  40  
plus years later I proved him wrong.  Archie
