[CBQ] Re: Short history

["Douglas Harding" <doug.harding@iowacentralrr.org>]

John to travel from Chariton to Marshalltown in 1912, the most direct route
would be to take the CB&Q east to Albia. At Albia switch to the Minneapolis
& St Louis, this would require a walk or depot hack ride to the Joint
Wabash/M&STL depot) on the SE side of town as I am not sure if there was a
passenger connection at Maxon where the lines crossed on the east side of
Albia. The M&StL would take them to Marshalltown. At Marshalltown a Chicago
& North Western train would take them to Boone. The M&StL and C&NW share the
same depot in Marshalltown so connections would be easy.

 

An alternate route would be take the Rock Island from Chariton to Des
Moines, then the Chicago Great Western to Marshalltown. You would need to
transfer between depots at Des Moines. 

 

Or a remote possibility would be to take the CB&Q from Chariton to
Indianola. The RI from Indianola to Des Moines (depots were across the
street from each other in Indianola).
