RE: [CBQ] Photo needed -Special service between Aurora and Chicago

[Gerald Edgar <vje68@hotmail.com>]

As with every "special interest" group whether American Legion, RR His. Soc. or 
Buttonhook collectors, only a fraction of the people who are interested in same 
or at least have something to contribute, do so (many not even knowing there is 
a 'group').  I suspect there have to be generic railfans (even "transportation" 
fans) who have the photos you need but it remains for the rest of us to let 
them know those photos are wanted!  it's amazing what's still "out there" 
unbeknownst to hardcore Burlington fans....     the search continues (Bernie 
Corbin cited a couple subjects he wanted photos of yrs back as well)

I don't want to give away the special service as that would make the 
article anti climatic. 

But no it didnt involve the wheel car which moved on the rear end of the 
night dinkies. This job also p/U a baggage car or jeep from behind the depot 
at Downers full of Pepperidge farm bread. But that's another 
story(article).

The "shop train" as discussed in the UTU files ran,over time, from a coup
le different mainline points east to Aurora where many Aurora shop employees 
detrained and then became a commuter train to C.U.S. 

Surely amongst all our resources and contacts someone has a photo a 2 or 3 
car all baggage car train on the east end. I hope.
