As late as the mid '70's, the CNW hauled grain in 40 ft. boxcars. How do I know? One of my first jobs was cleaning boxcars in the North Fond du Lac(Wi.) yard for Oakee and Co. [:D] <br /> <br />A real messy job. After the chaff and such was swept out, they were "sanitized"(don't remember exactly how, I was on the sweeping crew) and sent on their way. After 3 weeks, I just couldn't handle it. My allergies would kick in, and my day was done.[V] <br /> <br />So technically, I have worked for a railroad...but I have to be carfeul to say for how long....[;)][8D]
