All,

Am in the very early steps of converting all my paper records
to digital. Have no choice, right now can not find anything.

Am still working on Aug-1959 although there is a lot of jumping
around. Have confirmed that, at least in 1959, the power usage
followed a strict pattern. I am referring to Galesburg-Cicero
and Dayton's Bluff-Cicero. Conclusions:

Denver trains got 5 Graybacks or 4 SD24's. It looks like all the
SD24's had to go back to La Grange in late Summer but the ones
running were used on the Denver trains. One could presume that
they had just enough Grayback sets broken up to cover this service.
Once and a while there would be a SD7/9 replacing the extra
Grayback but with a tight pool this should not be surprising.

What would now be called "Priority Trains" got 4 Graybacks. 

The "Junk Trains" got the 3 unit Grayback sets.

#85 and #86 got 3 unit sets or GP7's.

Examples:

86 ========= 11-Aug-59 = 251-242-235
62 ========= 24-Aug-59 = 126AB-160B-135CD
CB68 ======= 23-Aug-59 = 115AB-126CD
Extra East = 24-Aug-59 = 155ABC
Extra East = 23-Aug-59 = 156   (Order not shown but was not necessary)
74 ========= 23-Aug-59 = 515-504-507-508 (Unusual for this train)
1st LC ===== 12-Aug-59 = 154CBA
2nd LC ===== 15-Aug-59 = 109AB-128BA
72 ========= 15-Aug-59 = 167

62 ========= 15-Aug-59 = 127AB-168B-117AB
74 ========= 14-Aug-59 = 105DC-106CD

62 ========= 17-Aug-59 = 129DC-163B-133CD

Extra East = 16-Aug-59 = 9960ABC
LW68 ======= 16-Aug-59 = 374-512-501 (A little power shortage here)
86 ========= 16-Aug-59 = 150ABC
62 ========= 15-Aug-59 = 126AB-160B-122CD
86 ========= 28-Aug-59 = 155ABC
74 ========= 27-Aug-59 = 125DC-111CD
88 ========= 27-Aug-59 = 127AB-113CD
LW68 ======= 27-Aug-59 = 507-501-513-510
72 ========= 27-Aug-59 = 111AB-350
88 ========= 27-Aug-59 = 110DC-134BA
86 ========= 27-Aug-59 = 9960ABC
LW68 ======= 27-Aug-59 = 508-515-513
1st LC ===== 26-Aug-59 = 152
72 ========= 26-Aug-59 = 127AB
62 ========= 26-Aug-59 = 128AB-166B-107BA
86 ========= 26-Aug-59 = 155ABC
LW68 ======= 25-Aug-59 = 323-502-500-506-505
LC ========= 25-Aug-59 = 110AB-134BA
72 ========= 25-Aug-59 = 120AB
78 ========= 25-Aug-59 = 167

62 ========= 12-Aug-59 = 134DC-323-123BA
74 ========= 12-Aug-59 = 115AB-130CD
LW68 ======= 12-Aug-59 = 511-501-514-510
88 ========= 12-Aug-59 = 133AB-114BA
2nd LC ===== 14-Aug-59 = 106AB-121CD


At this time it appears the sets broken up were:
157,160,163,166,168

Will keep updating this as I get to more documents.
