[CBQ] Booze on the Burlington

["Robert Herrick" <rdherrick@gmail.com>]

For you history sleuths always on the lookout for interesting nuggets on the Q, I'm thinking of Rupert or Leo, for example,j I ran across an interesting tidbit in old issue of Railroad History published by the Railway and Locomotive Historical Society. The issue contains listings of articles "worth reading." I noticed this pearl: "Employee Alcoholism on the Burlington Railroad, 1867-1902," written by Paul V. Black in the October 1978 issue of "Journal of the West". I can't imagine what strategy the railroad employed to end drinking on the job in 1902.
