[CBQ] Employee moves and crew calling

[qutlx1@aol.com]

Many of the Aurora Division operating employees lived w/in the  required 
distance of the Aurora Depot long after phones became common. While it  was 
rare; upon occasion a cab driver would be sent to knock on a door and  deliver 
a message if no one had answered the phone.
 
The UTU lodge 171 files contain some interesting episodes of  crew calling 
incidents.
 
While only a few duys utilized it......Well into the 1970s  there was a 
local agreeement that the morning rush hour dinky crews could  request a wake 
up call,even though they were a regular member of the crew. If  the caller 
failed to make the call the guy could just roll over and stay in bed  and get 
paid for the day.
