In the late 1920s  daily-expect-Sunday service between Quincy and
Louisiana was provided by  mixed trains 91-92. By 1933 the run had been
cut back to Quincy-Pike, still  passing through Rockport on a
daily-except-Sunday basis. An 0-6-0 would be  highly unusual on this
over-the-road mixed, but a 2-6-0 would be just the  ticket.

Subject: request for information

I am  trying to reconstruct information from my youth in the village of
Rockport, Illinois. Up until approximately the 1930's the town  was
served by
CB&Q from  Quincy. The locomotive was either and 0-6-0 or a
2-6-0.usually it
ran with a baggage car and part time  with a freight car, passenger
car, or
some sort of combination car. Do you have any information on this  
train,
particularly the locomotive.

Sincerely, William W. Gay, 115 S. Millbrooke Court, Advance, NC  27006
