RE: [CBQ] Christmas Traditions

[Gerald & Virginia Edgar <vje68@hotmail.com>]

 Special menus were issued at Thanksgiving & Christmas, seasonal prayer "tents" 
were found on dining car tables (pre p.c. days) and Christmas cards were sent 
to frequent riders/shippers. (and of course shippers got gifts & promo items)

 

  Dec issues of the Zephyr would have Christmas themes & some of the major 
ciies had Christmas decor around ticket windows, etc.  Of course this was not 
unique to the Q, "in the day".  Ad's can be seen in magazines like Saturday 
Evening Post well into the 50's with holiday themes promoting ea RR's passenger 
service, esp. the agressive ones like Q, GN, Santa Fe, etc.

 

 Commuter's got vinyl ticket holders & cards thanking them for their patronage.

Since we just had Christmas, did the Q do anything special for it's passengers 
that were traveling on the holiday. 

Thanks
