RE: [CBQ] CB&Q Train 41-90 (was "Ghost" Train)

[GLEN HAUG <glenehaug@msn.com>]

Train 41-90 must have been the train that my sister-in-law rode home from 
school in 1950-51.  My wife (and sisters) were from Hoag, between Beatrice and 
De Witt, and went to country school thru 8th grade.  When my sister-in-law was 
in 9th grade (at Beatrice), she was too young to get a special school driving 
permit, so she rode the train home in the afternoon from Beatrice to Hoag.  
Train 41 must have been punctual for her to ride regularly.  CB&Q must have 
been accommodating also, as Hoag was not listed as a stop in the public 
timetable.

There has been no passenger service on the Republican Valley line between 
Wymore and Oxford since March 58 when trains 15-16 (motor trains) were 
discontinued.

Last service between Wymore and St. Joe via Table Rock and Napier was IIRC Feb 
1962 when trains 89-42 and 41-90 were discontinued.
