Thread-topic: [CBQ] Query from Bill Schultz
Pete,

Thanks.  After I sent the email I realized that the math probably did not add up.

Pete,

I knew a Chuck Able (always Mr. Able out of our respect to him) when I was stationed at Offutt AFB in the 1990's.  He was in charge of our communications at Air Force Global Weather Central.  Could this be the same Charles Able?

Hol..This is one of those  "just so ya know" messges...You mentioned Charlie Able.  I met Charlie in 1954 when he was a Master Sgt. in the Air Force and a member of our Lincoln Railfans Club.  

I was in contact with Charlie off and on right up until his untimely death.  Had a nice letter from his wife (IIRC Linda) shortly after  he died.

I last saw Charlie in  July of 1958.  He and Jim Christen came out to Villisca on No. 3 and rode Branch Line train No. 94 down to Corning and then they came over to Lincoln on a Sunday morning.  They were staying at the old Lincoln Hotel and I was working the Fairmont-Hildreth Local on the Wymore Division at the time and was "in" on Sunday so I had a nice visit with Jim and Charlie that morning and have a picture of Charlie and Jim standing out in front of the Hotel...

Fred:

Thanks; I've passed this along to Bill.  I remember Norm because I was actively involved in arranging fantrips and excursions in the 1960s, though more often we dealt with Charlie Able for our special wants and needs.

I knew Joe Krupka but only met him after the BN merger.  I did not know that he was at 14th Street during that time period you mentioned but I do know that he was there earlier in the 1960's.  I shared a house in Aurora  with Norm Andersen.  Norm was the Special Movements Clerk in the Passenger Dept.  He told me that there were several passenger cars that the Passenger Dept would not move to Chicago because they thought Joe would condemn them and there were no replacement cars.  I told Joe that story later and he said Norm was probably right.  Joe was at least a second generation Q employee and started in Cicero Yard.  He was born and raised in Cicero.  Somebody or maybe it was Joe himself said his nickname was "Crazy Joe from Cicero".  Joe taught me a lot and we became good friends.  Joe passed away in about 1980 when he was assigned in the Twin Cities Terminal.  I can tell some more stories about Joe but later.

Bill asked me to put this out to the group.  Hopefully some of you out there will know the answers..


Perhaps I could entice you into putting this out to the community of interest to see if anyone can help to identify two Q officers.  First is a road foreman of engines, last name Harmon, initials unknown, who would have been assigned to the Chicago & Aurora Divisions in the fall of 1936.  (Thus, anyone with a Chicago & Aurora Divisions employee timetable of that era should be able to determine the answer.)  I'm seeking Harmon's first and middle initials or first name.  The second is J. D. Krupka, who was a principle recipient of communications from trainmasters riding the CZ in the winter of '68-'69 noting bad-order conditions on individual cars (and they were legion) with Mr. Krupka ultimately responsible for their correction.  From that it appears Krupka was a Mechanical Department officer (either system-wide or, perhaps, at 14th St. Chicago) and responsible for passenger-car maintenance.  I'm seeking his specific title and headquarters location.
