Here's another one from Jim...he came up with several of them from time to time.. Remember the song..."Pretend You're Happy When You're Blue"....Jim came up with....you guessed it already...."PRETEND YOU'RE TRAVELING ON THE Q". If you remember the melody you' see how it fits just right.
There may be more..."stay tuned.

It must have stopped in the mid-50's. I remember it being there but along about that time the PR department launched a campaign to get people to call it the "Burlington" and not the "Q". Our local agent was a "true believer" and insisted that he worked for the Burlington and not the Q!
