I was always told that the Q was one of the few roads that let their signal maintainers change out defective signal relays.  Other roads required at least a supervisor or inspector to do that sensitive chore.

Subject: [CBQ] Burlington employees

 

While we are singing the praises of Burlington employees, another Railroad Gazette clip from 1881 -

The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy has perhaps the best blood in its ranks, and perhaps,
too, it has exercised more care in selecting its men.
The men on the Wabash system are less intelligent, but there is a wide-awake interest in their business, which we regret to say does not seem to exist on the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul. ?.. nowhere in the west is there more listlessness, and, I judge, want of professional interest than on some parts of this road.
