[CBQ] Aurora Presentation

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

I did want to comment on some of last nights attendees. Seems w/o trying we 
managed to pick the same night that BNSF held a safety dinner at Aurora so we 
had 4 current BNSF employees, including my brother. There was also a pocket of 
3 retired Q/BN employees 2 engineers and one Conductor. Two of these 
individuals I have not seen in 38 years and we each immediately recognized each 
other. I do intend to pick these two individual memories in the future. One of 
them is 94, worked in the shops before going off to WWII and then into engine 
service. 

The Conductor came up after the presentation and volunteered that he had worked 
the Pioneer Zephyr on its last move under its own power from Galesburg to the 
Aurora shops before being donated to the museum of Science and Industry in 
Chicago.
I asked him a couple of questions about the "Park job" as that is one of many 
articles I'm 
Working on.
