There was previous discussion on the Q shipping snow to the south. In the
Burlington Bulletin dated march-april 1967 a front page picture and a full
page article on page 6 tell the story. as a result of the snow,the Q shipped
carloads to southern illinois. Upon seeing this on national tv a young girl
from Ft Meyers wrote a letter to the Q president. Finding a empty refer car
going to florida he had the car shipped with snow to this young lady. The
cover picture is of her with a shovel of snow in front of the car. Just to
let those know that yes indeed it really happened. jim young
