These locals, 45 and 52, came off in the summer of 1958.  The train crews
were part of the Northern Pool.  The few times I saw the train, it consisted
of two or three head end cars and a coach, powered by a Geep.  Also the
train crew was a two man crew.

Subject: [CBQ] Hinckley

 

Rusty,

I was in the Hinckley depot once or twice while it was an active agency in 
the early to mid 70's. The agent at that time was a women(don't remember her

name) and if I recall correctly she handled all agency matters between Sugar

Grove and Shabbona at the time. Within a couple years that job was
eliminated and 
all agency work was done from Steward(again keep in mind this was over 30 
years ago). The depot then became a section (track depot) facility for
several 
more years. Direct passenger service to Hinckley would have ended when the
day 
C&I local came off. The locals folks called it the "dinky"(got this from a 
resident years ago). Without researching the timetables I can't provide the
exact 
timeframe the run came off but it would have been late 40's or early to mid 
50's. The depot was on the North side of the mainline.
