Another bit of Nixon
trivia. I enrolled at Gale Institute in Minneapolis in 1948 to learn how to get a job as an
agent/telegrapher for a railroad. My
rules instructor was Ron Nixon - he had the walls of his class room
covered with pictures of train
wrecks. He pointed out that each picture depicted either 1. a rules violation, or 2. a situation which led to a
change in the rules. In all my years
with the NP and the successor railroads I never met anyone who was more knowledgeable on the consolidated book of
rules than Ron. photographs photos
