[CBQ] Irish Mail

[qutlx1@aol.com]

Ken,
 
I'd like to talk to you about the CM&G and J sometime. About that story  
from your brother about the Irish Mail crew doing the Alley. I think  
something may have gotten lost in time.
 
You are correct that the Irish Mail for a time traded engines at Eola(at  
least thats what I've been told) after coming back to Eola from the West  and 
before going up the east side.But this was all Irish Mail  work. 
The Irish Mail was a road job. The Alley Job was a yard job and  believe 
one never did the others work or there would be timeslips everywhere. 
The yard crews had rights on the West Batavia and West Chicago lines  to 
North Aurora and could be ordered to do work if needed on these lines w/o  
timeslips. 
For a period of time in the early 60s there was a time when the Alley Job  
crew, due to lack of work on the Alley  and an effort to reduce OT on the  
Irish Mail was doing the work on the West Chicago line up to N Aurora that  
the Irish Mail would have done.
