I know the territory well Don. I worked the Hastings-Huntley local two weeks
in 1956
. This job ran Hastings-Huntley round trip Monday Wednesday and Friday.
Tuesday and Thursday was a run over the main line Hastings to Sutton, then
north to Lushton (don't forget Bixby). There was a wye at Lushton where
Motor car 9769 was turned.
It was then back to Sutton and down the Clay Center line.
(Sutton-Verona-Clay Center). There was no wye at Clay Center. We backed up
(waycar ahead) to Sutton. Then back to Hastings.
