Rob,
Thanks again, One of the problems is that I am not completely sure of the
equipment types & numbers that was used on these particular lines. My
grandfather worked these lines & there are 1 or 2 old time RR guys left
around that I am trying to get info from. I am hoping that they may have a
few pictures left laying around. Do you know if there are any lists in the
archives that show what pieces of equipment were used? I do have a few
photo's of combine #3653 which was used right up until the merger as far as
I know. That is when yard operations moved over to the GN yard in Sioux
City, Ia. After that I am not sure about that piece of equipment. Anything
you have would be appreciated.
Scott

Scott;
You're welcome. Does the O'Neil Branch issue BB#27 have information
that will help you? If you have car numbers you are looking for, I
have the diagrams book that I mentioned and would be happy to scan or
copy selected pages for you. I'm not very knowledgeable about the
O'Neil branch so can't really be of much help otherwise.
Kind regards, Rob Adams
