[CBQ] Re: Oiling Track

WB All-

Thanks for the interesting comment on track oiling around Chicago to ward off 
wear and tear from brine leakage. A couple of asides to that...

Is the Q's track oiler what is more commonly called a flange oiler in the 
Pacific Northwest, or some other sort of device?

If the Q found this a necessary or valuable installation in Chicago, with its 
vast stock markets, did it also find this useful in places like Kansas City or 
perhaps Fort Worth?

Also, if the Q used this to fight brine leakage in the Chicagoland area, did 
other roads use it for the same purpose in the same reason?

"I will put down the informal history of the shirt-sleeve multitude," says Inez 
Mischitz. "What they had to say about their jobs, love affairs, vittles, 
sprees, scrapes and and sorrows. The oral history is a great hodgepodge and 
kitchen midden of hearsay. A repository of jabber. An omnium-gatherum of 
bushwah, gab, palaver, hogwash, flap-doodle and malarkey. The fruit of more 
than 20,000 conversations. What people say is history, what we used to think 
was history, is only formal history, and largely false. I will put down the 
informal history or I will perish in the attempt."
