Here's quiz: What type of service had a basic day of 160 miles? Remember that
frt was 100 and passenger 150. But there was a rule to cover a special class
of service that paid a basic day of 160 and O.T. after the hours equated
miles.
Clues: these trains ran very infrequently and to collect the 160 instead of
100 the crew had to participate in the spotting and unloading of the trains
on their division. A run thru from say Chgo to Savanna or Galesburg didnt
count. ALso these trains origin and destination wouldn't necessarily be the
typical division points. One last point; sometimes the train crew stayed with
the train after unloading until train was reloaded and they moved it to next
destination on the division.
Well what service was this?
