[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by HighIron2003ar With the abundance of electricity, it would have been easy to siphon a bit of juice off a deisal with an inverter and use a hot plate or something. When My wife and I drove, we would invert the truck power to about 1500 watts of 120 volt A/C this enabled us to do some full meals on the move. Saved us about 12,000 USD a year. It is also possible that the railroad had arranged for crews to be at a local eateary from time to time in which they were served well. The old N and W books showed pictures of the train crew getting meals trackside by a waitress from the town restraunt. Lee [/quote] Hey all, Somewhere in Southeast Missouri (the boothill area) the ex MO PAC and now UP crews had a little hamburger joint right next to the tracks. Somewhere I have seen a pic of it with someone from the hamburger joint giving one of the train crews a sack of food. It might have been a place totally for the railroad crews and not for the general public. There was (if I remember right) a wooden type walkway between the tracks and the hamburger joing that was about the cab height. Anyone having info on this let's hear more.
