Russ:

Thanks for the heads up. I just checked dates without taking a 
good look. After reading your reply, I filpped page by page since 
the refence was removed from the cover page. When I turned to 
the last page, I found it. So, Glen, here you go.

The Gladstone -Oquawka segment terminated at  M.P.66.61, 
one-tenth mile south of the depot located at M.P.66.51.Two 
spurs, one facing and one trailing remained. The spur to the 
east of the main track, and the south facing-switch, was 
truncated. A spur to the north and north of the depot was 
abandoned was retired with the Arpee -Oquawka segment in 
2/52. No AFE indicated.

Regards,

Ed
