[QUOTE]Originally posted by yukon11: [QB] Yep, I'm WA6ZFM. Had I lived during the golden era of passenger trains, I would have loved to have been a railroad telegraph operator. When I first got my license, I talked to a few fellow hams who had, in their youth, jobs as railroad telegraph operators. They mentioned that it wasn't easy to copy code using those old sound boxes. Back around 1970, I once rode the Burlington-Northern passenger train from Montana to Seattle. I ventured into the club car for a cup of coffee. One of the attendants somehow determined that my last name was "Hill". He asked if I was related to James J. Hill. Just for fun I replied "yes". His eyes got as big as saucers! I was hoping they would give me a free meal in the dining car or, at least, a free cup of coffee for being James J's kin. Richard [/QB][/QUOTE]
