[CBQ] Commuter train w/Baggage car

[qutlx1@aol.com]

The Q would sometimes make arrangements for a man with a foot issue or  
injury to serve in limited services.
Sometimes this back fired as anyone familiar with a guy nicknamed "Geep"  
will attest.
 
On the other hand I recently communicated off list with a relative of a man 
 injured in service who spent the balance of his carreer in baggage 
service. The  most interesting part was finding the file in the Aurora lodge 
papers 
where the  number #1 man in baggage seniority agreed to go the bottom of 
the list and  transfer his seniority to the injured man so he could work 
baggage. It took  awhile for the lodge members and the Q to sign off on the 
arrangement but to my  knowledge it was unique and a true sign of what union 
brotherhood once  meant.
