Thanks for the information Ken. I believe this job was referred to as the  
"shop train". There's a couple files on it in the UTU papers. If we  can't 
come up with a photo of the all baggage train maybe we could use a photo  of 
this job
 
 
Leo,

Up to the fifties, I believe #33 & 34 ran to Aurora with  regular train,
including baggage car(s),  plus commuter cars.  They  cut-off the rear cars
at Aurora and then the train continued as a local to  Mendota.  Mail and
papers were off loaded at Montgomery with the Fox  River " Puddle Jumper".
There was a small, high level platform just North of  the crossing (at
tower).

Ken
