Some were, but some also came via Beardstown and the
old St. Louis line. Even before that, some came down
the JAX Line and went to the Litchfield and Madison at
Litchfield, (this became the C&NW in '58). At
Beardstown, if you were called for a Litchfield turn,
it was a sure bet that it was a "ginny train"!
