If anybody goes cruising down the Vermillion in a boat they might want
to be on the lookout for a submerged CB&Q 220XXX somewhere between the
old barge loading facility and a point about two miles upstream. It's
also pretty close to the spot where the section Foreman buried a Fairmont
motorcar.

Karl,
I live in this area and have heard that in times of low rainfall the 'Lil
Vermilion River is quite shallow. The younger people like to spend a hot
summer afternoon "tubing" down it. Will have to tell my nieces and nephews
to keep an eye out next time they're drifting down that river!
Thanks!
