    Railroads used to do this, in honor of high ranking officials that had just passed away. And also top elected national politicians- Vice President, President.

    On March 7, 1967, this order was issued in the memory of CB&Q President Harry C. Murphy. Who had just gone on to his final reward.

    :D

    No. They don't. The term "Class 1," should be replaced by "Class? None!"
