Greetings All,
Pardon me if I have asked this question before.
The Joint Line ran between South Denver and Pueblo, Colorado.
In 1899, with subsequent renewals in 1900, 1915 etc, the Colorado & Southern
and the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe signed a Joint Operating Agreement which
amongst other thing allowed the C&S to use AT&SF [and later, after October
1918, D&RG(W)] trackage between South Denver and Pueblo.
Initially C&S trains were crewed by C&S engine men (probably) and C&S way cars
were crewed by C&S men.
Sometime in the 1950s(??) the C&S men lost their crewing rights to AT&SF men.
Can anyone shed light on what happened to cause this and why?
As a matter of interest, AT&SF C&S way cars were assigned to trains according
to their place on the roster. That is way cars form one company frequently
brought up the rear of the other's trains; for good measure occasionally way
cars from each company were assigned.
