In the mid-80s I was at Toronto's (now Pearson) Airport and there was a 28 
KSR banging away behind a ticket counter.  I can't recall now what was 
printing on it, but the counter was not staffed at the time I was there and 
I heard what sounded like a teletype running, sporadically, so I went and 
followed the sound.  It was the first 28 I had seen in the flesh and was 
awestruck at the typebox flying around in it.  As I recall, it would print 
a line or two of info and then stop for a minute or two and then print 
another line or two.  This was about 1984-85, my cousin and I were either 
on our way to or back from D/FW.
