[CBQ] Zephyr 59 and Downers Grove/steam on the dinkies to Aurora

[qutlx1@aol.com]

This discussion brought up an old memory. Don Hansen and  another 
engineer(whos name escapes me at the moment)both told me that the last  steam 
engines 
on the dinkies to Aurora were based/maintained at Eola Roundhouse.  They 
would be shuttled between Eola and Aurora.
 
We know all suburban service was diesel powered with the  closing of D
owners in 9/52. I am looking at three 24 hour block sheets from West  Eola 
tower 
dated June,October and December 1952. While I can find plenty of  steam on 
several jobs I dont find any on a dinky. Several of the jobs with  steam 
power were based out of Eola.
 
When was the last steam powered dinky at Aurora ?
