[CBQ] Rockfalls w/f-2

[qutlx1@aol.com]

Again using R.K. Johnson time books I learned that on a few occasions the  
Rock Falls job on Tues and Fridays when heading for Eola would "turn" at  
Earville and/or Somonauk and return to Rockfalls before again heading to Eola. 
This leads me to believe that they had such heavy trains that they were  
required to bring it over from Rockfalls in bunches.
 
Also did see an occasional 25 and 100 mile "double" on the west bound trip  
to Rockfalls. For those who aren't up on the jargon this means the crew 
doubled  a hill because the engine couldn't pull anymore and they took the 
train over in  pieces and then put it back together.
