[CBQ] Train Orders

[qutlx1@aol.com]

Went thru some early 1960s Q Aurora Div train orders this  evening. I 
worked many a foggy night when you couldn't see your hand in  front of your 
face 
and never saw an order like the following.
 
"Fog reported between Chicago and Galesburg". 
 
Was there a major derailment in the winter of 1961-62 cause by a partially  
open switch clogged with snow ?
 
Because for several weeks the following order was issued to trains"See that 
 switches are free from snow and ice before and after using and that points 
fit  up tightly".
