Re: [CBQ] CB&Q Keeley Can

Here's a little "side bar" question for you guys regarding the Keeley matter.   The name Keeley or Keeley can was an "aborted" name for a matter totally unrelated to railroading.   

I'm reasonably certain that maybe someone who had some long ago aquaintance with an "old time rail" who made reference to how the matter of the "Keeley" came about and from whence it sprung.  IE  Where did the name  "Keeley" originate...It didn't have its beginnning on the r railroad, but elsewhere in a totally unrelated business.  

Just a little hint.  Mr. Keeley was not a railroader nor was he associated with any industry, trade, or business related to the railroad and it's use there.

“Previously on this list [Real Steam Era Freight Car Discussion Group], modelers shared their techniques for adding the Keeley hooks to box cars. The link below will take you to an upcoming auction for one of the cans. The listing has plenty of good photos.

For the record, I have no interest in the auction house.”
