It's been at least a few years that Amtrak crews have reverted to the "stove
pipes". Not sure if this is totally correct but one BNSF Condr I know
attributes the change to a former Milw brkmn who ended up helping to design the
Amtrak uniforms. Believe his first name is Mitch. Keep in mind the Milw kept
the
stove pipes far longer than the Q. And,yes you are correct the Q went to
airline caps in the 60's as I have a matched set of Trainman and Condr.
airline
caps.
