The people of Galesburg have not gotten over the merger of
1970 .
I used to own a hobby shop with a couple of other guys ,
and we went to railroad days back in 1983 with BN
tee-shirts
and all kind of BN model equipment . Thinking was big BN
town - might have big community following . Result -- what a
disaster . All comments were negative . The people hated the
BN - they ruined our town . " The BN treats people like dirt "
ect. , ect ,
I suspect a lot anti - BNSF comments are being made
now . The railroad doesn't provide a lot of employment for the
town folks now either . There are still probably many townfolks
employed there , but nowhere near the level as when Railroad
days started .
These are just my observations after going to Railroad
days 6 -7 times over last 20 plus years .
