Posted by Jackson Park B Train on Thu Sep 17 19:11:00 2020, in response to Re: 2019 S collision , engineer was drunk +, posted by randyo on Thu Sep 17 17:48:04 2020. the year 63, the train MILW RD #19. On my way back to college. Greeted the uniformed crew as Istowed my grip in a coach; then headed for the baggage carwhere anotherguy I regularly saw when meeting the train at the station several blocks from my dorm. Got invited to hang out in the car for the ride from Chicago. We were barely moving through the north throat of Union Station when he took a pint o Hennessey out of his briefcase. I declined but had a couple of gulps.A different evening, when I met the train, one of the regulars was missing. Turned out he as so loaded that they had put him to sleep in a roomette and planned to wae him just before their change out station. FWIW, this train was staffed from Marion Iowa--they worked 2 divisions to Chicago early AM, laid over (drinking,napping, whatever) evening departure from Chicago, 2 days off, rinse repeat. |
