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. David Thebodo Rail Merchants International

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)
