Here are some images from the C B & Q Railroad.
Gene was hired by the C B & Q railroad as a telegraph operator in 1945.
Most of his time was spent at the Birmingham, Missouri depot but during his 9 year tenure
with the C B & Q railroad he also worked at the following depots:
Callao, Macon, Shelbina, Monroe City, Hunnewell, Hamilton, Chillicothe, Liberty,
Block 222, Lathrop, Cameron Jct, Kearney, Carrollton and Browning, Missouri.
Luckily, he met my mom, Ruth Engel at the Liberty Depot in 1945
