Christmas Day 2015
Pete - It's Christmas, let's hear your story whether its RI or not....
Getting back to your identifying the motor car snow plow image, thanks! Do
you agree with my speculation that the road master is decorating the gondola to
pass signals? You'd think the shock of hitting a drift would knock him off,
unless he climbed down after the image was taken. Do you have any snow
fighting stories from your career? Happy Holidays - Louis

Louis et al....I do, indeed, have a story which
is very much "akin" to the attached missive which I thoroughly enjoyed and,
being of about Mr. Andrews "vintage" I can relate to. Indeed our
paths may have crossed at UNL since the fall semester 1958 was my last
"hurrah" at UNL prior to graduating January 31st 1959.
My story puts me in the position of one who solved the problem as whoever
lined up the express box at Alliance and got the job done rather than
"Dale"..who was one of those guys who ran by "you can't do that...it's against
the rules"..
My only hesitancy is that my "story" took place on the CRI&P rather
than the CB&Q...Hence...I'm going to wait awhile to relate it...If I
hear nothing from the "web police" by this evening I'll "risk it" and put it
on here...It's a really good story...in my opinion and when I put it on the RI
list a few years ago I got several responses backing up the conditions which
required "action" rather than..."You can't do that"..
