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
