Glen and Larry  The signal bridges you refer to may have protected the old 
Rockford, Rock Island and St. Louis line that crossed the Galesburg to Ottumwa 
double main just west of the depot.  Even though the trackage between Gerlaw 
and 
Roseville was removed in 1938, the Monmouth Yard engine still worked small 
yards 
on both sides of the Ottumwa main in the 1950's.  I will contact the Ottumwa 
Line old heads and see if anyone can shed further light on this.

Lenny:

What did you remember about the signal bridge (bridges) at Monmouth?  Old maps 
suggest that there may have originally been two (at MP 179.05 and 179.13).  I 
have verified the one at 179.13, but am not sure about the other one.  Was it 
still up in 1967?  Thanks,

Glen Haug

Pete,

A little story about Morse, this happened in Monmouth. There were two operators 
in the office when a pretty young lady came to the ticket window.
One operator tapped out a short message about the young ladies looks. She 
smiled 
and thanked him, turned out she was a Western Union operator.

We still had a wire between the Q and C&NW (M&StL) in 67 at Monmouth.

Lenny

I ended up with Paul's bugs after he passed away in January.
