and ditto for Edgemont-Lead/Deadwood and the Burlington-Winfield/Washington
branches to name a couple more. A great Zephyr or even BB article on Q mixed
service could be a reality if enough mbrs respond with photos, old tickets,
ancedotes, etc. 'Mixed' service goes back into late 1800's as even then some
lines no longer had enough traffic to justify a dedicated passenger train inc.
the original Aurora branch to West Chicago.

CB&Q public TT's listed Mixed trains into mid-60's (can ck exact date) and in
reality some operated beyond that.

I've recently come across a 1959 Official Guide that lists Mixed Train
Service, Consult Agent for Details on the line. Anyone have some later
Guides or ETTs to indicate how long this lasted?

12:15am St. Joe 4:00am or so...Left St. Joe around noon arriving Wymore
about 2:00pm and Lincoln around 3:30pm so his would have been about
right for after school transportation from Beatrice to Hoag.

Lincoln around 4:00am with a big setout for Crete and Wymore mid morning
to noon. CF about 8:00pm at Wymore with pickups at Hoag and Beatrice and
