From the estate of Fred Clouse, LONG-TIME Gen. Passenger Agent for the Burlington on Lines East ending with BN in Chicago The following postcard ended up in his office @ 547 W. Jackson, postmarked from Chicago. He took it home & saved it as he apparently found it amusing. I will share it verbatim, underlined/spelled/punctuated as the writer did. There was no name or return address: "How about a new idea to allow poor people to see our beautiful country cheaply by selling travel tickets for us to ride freight trains in empty box cars legally. Make hobo style of travel available to us. Why have lots and lots of empty box cars returning on the rails when people - families, singles, old people - could be riding in them for a price. Put up outdoor style outhouses (toilets) in rail yards where trains stop and we could safely get off. At pumps, we could get water. We'll buy own own food in town stores and carry it in rucksacks. Maybe small towns could build small picnic areas near the railroad yards and camping (tent) areas. help merica boom still more." Shades of Rochelle & other towns on the Burlington (the picnic areas)! Merry Christmas! Gerald . _________________________________________________________________ Your E-mail and More On-the-Go.
