Petes comment about the checkers brought something to mind.
The Q not only used "buses",vans to transport operating dept crews but at some
locations had trains to move folks in the non ops depts.
In my researching the BRT/UTU files I found evidence of the long rumored "shop
trains" from Somonauk to Aurora that brought employees to town and returned
them home. Still looking for documentation on the train that ran from the
Aurora shops to Eola with operating and non operating folks whos' jobs were
moved to Eola after the Aurora frt yard was closed and Eola opened.
Wasn't there a "shop train" from Burlington to West Burlington shops ? What
about Havelock?
