I got out my huge tupperaware tub completely full
to the top of nothing but railroad "paper" getting
ready for MIR and scanning some of this railroad paper.
When I hired on the BN 2-14-73 the inter-office or BN
mail was mainly by these "100 mile envelopes" that
had the 2-holes punched through the envelope
and it was not sealed just a tuck and thats the
way I recieved all kinds of stuff. Nasty letters usually
were in a white envelope and sealed. So as time went
on I started to notice a "collection" of these things coming
on. So as a clerk I was alway was going through desks
and shit and it finally ended with what I have after I left.
You would have to work for the railroad to know these
100 mile envelopes. I cant remember if I ever got a "bump
notice" in a 100 mile envelope. Maybe.
If you are in a horror movie, you make bad decisions, its what you do.
They still use them here as you say for non-sensitive information and we call them "thousand milers".
This is how I roll.
