GREAT to see/hear you are up & around Archie!
Good too to see that CB&Q, even in 'modern times' took time to honor a great
President. We could have quite a display during a clinic on Burlington T.O.'s

Gerald, I have a train order recognizing President Murphy's death and
I believe the time of train stoppage was one minute instead of five.
And this train order is unique because it was written at 12 o'clock
noon when the rules said a train order should be written at 11:59 or
12:01 so the 12:00 was quite unique. Archie
