Stan, given the dates of interest I would strongly suggest getting the CB&Q
operating data sheets available from the Burlington Route Historical
Society. They include train schedules, connections and blocking data and
they date from about 1966-67. I'm not sure about other sources of info on
that area, but I'll check my files. I once considered Beardstown as a
locale to model myself.
