Bill,
There were several Hunger families in and around Burlington that worked for
the railroad. I have other shots that Hank Kuepper took that are identified
with one of the Hunger's at the controls. Also, the late Arn Hunger from
Mt. Union helped greatly with gathering information and getting together
some old heads for me to interview on the B&W issue.

I work with another engineer, Jay Hunger, who has told me in the past that
the Burlington (and it's successor) has kept members of his family employed
over 100 years. He didn't start work for the RR until after the merger, but
he did work "Q" lines in Wyoming.
I noticed the caption under one of the pictures in the latest BB indicated
engineer "G. Hunger" was at the controls that summer day in 1940. So I
showed him the Bulletin. Almost instantly an ear-to-ear grin and the words,
"My dad's Uncle Gerald. . ."
He got a kick out of it. Really made his day!
