It was the Gravel Train out of Hannibal and my good friend Walter  
Kincaide who was agent at Alexandria, Mo was pulled out of service as  
well as the dispatcher.  I still have the old coal stove that was  
salvaged from the wrecked combine.  It was called the Gravel Train  
because it had a big pick up at the LaGrange, Mo gravel pits  each  
trip.  The job was seasonal corresponding with the construction of  
high ways in Missouri.  Archie
