Re: [CBQ] Re: Depot interior question

Doug,  Another thing that always intrigued me and is evident in your  
pictures is the names and dates written on the freight room walls.   
You can see some in the area around the lower left hand side of the  
pigeon hole storage unit.  Some were as old as when the depot was  
constructed.  Guess they didn't enforce the rule about defacing  
company property.  Wonder if they used the black ink that came in the  
ceramic bottles as I have found many of these empty bottles in the  
attics of old depots.  Where Steve was a dumpster diver I was an attic  
addict.  PS  Did you know that raccoons and mice also loved Q attics?
