Re: [CBQ] Re: The Pea Vine

Hi Jack  I know about the Ft Madison to Stockport line and that is why the 
Title of the book is "A History of the ILLINOIS
Pea Vine.  I think every state has a line they call the pea vine and probably 
other railroads in Iowa and Illinois also had their pea vine.  The one thing 
about the Savanna to Galesburg branch, it was called the pea vine 60 years ago 
and is still called the pea vine today.  If you go the the BNSF dispatching 
center in Ft Worth today and ask where the pea vine is they will tell you 
Galesburg to Savanna.

Back in th 50's, I remember train crews and the CB&Q agent in 
Farmington, Iowa referring to the Hannibal Division branch from Ft. 
Madison to Stockport, Iowa as the Pea Vine.
