Scott, if it will help we know of a dining& parlor rail car named the
'Litchfield' which may have ran in that region . It was built by Barney & Smith
in the late 1800s and renovated and is currently in Colorado (actually, our
firm has been retained to sell the car ). If you are interested in more
information you may call me at 641-472-2020 . Best of luck with your research.

If you need train operations information, your best bet is Dick Eisfeller.
He is a huge operations oriented guy who will be able to help you compare
traffic levels for different periods of time. He also owns a railroad video
company called "Big E" productions. I don't have an e-mail address handy, but
a simple Google search will yield the results. If you were talking 1990 to
current I would have been able to help you myself (off-list, of course)
