Hi everyone:
Does anyone have any info on the Nuclear train that ran on the TPW and the Q
through Peoria. It ran in the sixties and right after the BN merge but I
don't know for how long.
Some one mentioned that it might have been going to the munitions plant in
Burlington Iowa or to the Armory in Rock Island.
I talked to Monty Powell an ex TPW dispatcher but he only knew it as Nuclear
material. He didn't know if it was weapons or something else.
The silver cars were approximately 50' long. I can't make out the reporting
marks on the cars but they used a buffer between occupied cars and engines.
They also carried armed guards to protect the cargo.
Thanks in advance!
