[CBQ] Railroad History

[qutlx1@aol.com]

There was a "camp" at Savanna,IL. It was at the west end of  the Q yard on 
the North side and just east of the Milw xing. Bob "Gabby" Watson  pointed 
it out to me one summer night after we caught the w/c on an  eastbounder at 
the west end. The campfire was glowing brightly. After looking at the notes 
in Bud Lintroths latest edition of the  "Peavine" history, I have to wonder 
if it wasn't on the old C.B.& N.  R-O-W.  
 
This would have been sometime in the early to mid  70's.

Ps-The "Bo's" were also common in Cicero. One night I had the  "xxxx" 
scared out of me by one as he came up behind me while I was walking our  train 
in 
depature yard. He just wanted to know which train went to  Galesburg.
 
On another occasion we pulled one off a CH east of Savanna in  far below 
zero temps and let him ride in the W/C to  Cicero.
