Re: [CBQ] Railroad nicknames

["Karl" <qrailroadman@yahoo.com>]

Some loyal followers of this didactic chronicle of railroad happenins' may 
recognize a few of these oft used aliases once common in conversations and 
radio transmissions on the C&I. Some were applied to Snuffy's as well. Most 
will appreciate my reluctance to identify the real names of these individuals. 
If a particular nickname appeals to someone, I will explain, to the best of my 
ability, the causation of the often unflattering "handle".

Goon Belly - Breathless - Velvet - Toot Toot - Slick - Deputy Dog - Babe or Hub 
Caps - Rabitt - Flash - Cement Head - Cute Little Fella - Sweet Corn - Honest 
John - Que Ball - Disaster Dan - Bones - Harpo - Cain't Heppit - Ol'Dad - Rigor 
Mortis - Sport - Meatball - Teddy Bear - Jeep - Bed Sores - Tom Cat - Gentle 
Ben - Izzy - Fat Boy - Reverend and, one of my personal favorites - Raaalllph.

Maybe a few I forgot - but not many.

Karl
