[CBQ] Perfect Gentlemen

["Leo qutlx1@aol.com [CBQ]" <CBQ@yahoogroups.com>]

Rupert,

There was wide variance between men's language and decorum in frt service and 
passenger service. Generally passenger men were more reserved,and acted more 
professional. Part of it was the uniform and the presence of women. Generally, 
You could take a frt man, put him in a uniform and he was considerably 
different in his word choice and actions.

But here's one exception I found in the "investigation" files of the Aurora 
local. 

This was in the late 40s or early 50s. A lady boards on eastbound train at 
Galesburg and while detraining  at Aurora the brkmn engages her in 
conversation. She mentioned that she had been away from her husband for some 
time and was going home to make him breakfast. The brakeman commented that she 
might also do something else for him.

She reported said comment to Aurora mgmt who called the brkmn in for an 
investigation.

The transcript was a real interesting read.
