Thanks for the research, Steve. Now all I need to do is check Corbin, Holck
and the BB index.
The problem with the color books is that 1940s coverage is spotty due to the
cost of color film back then. To an extent, that also applies to the early
1950s. From the mid-1950s on, coverage is good, but the best color coverage
is in the 1960-70s. That leaves early transition modelers with few color
photos, and the color quality of the earliest surviving photos isn't very
good. Fortunately, the blackbird scheme persisted well into the quality
color era, so we know what it looked like. Unfortunately, railroad structure
were badly faded or repainted by then, so the photos aren't very helpful for
determining color schemes. As for equipment utilization, it's fortunate that
we can use both monochrome and color photos to sort out what operated where.

Looking in Spoor's 4 volumes
9735 60's switching Galesburg to Macomb
9841 57-59 Train 147-148 Galesburg to Savanna via Rock Island 9772 57-60
Galesburg to Peoria with trailer 9767(only Silver Doodlebug)with Silver
Pendlum Connection Brookfield/Cameron to
St. Joe the Zephyr Connection
9816 48-52 On the Dolly (Branch lines BN to Galesburg north of the main)
9849 mid 50's Burlington to Quincy on east side of river also show photo
on
Cameron to St. Joe Connection
9845 (see above) later moved to Creston to St. Joe branch
9770 51-54 Ottumwa to Des Moines
But the units moved around and sometimes replaced with Geep and combine or
coaches during maintenance.
Assignment sheets is for maintenance that does not mean that is the only
place a
unit operated if needed.
Just as a timetable is for info only traffic and operating practices moved
the
trains

Steve,
Where the photos dated? 9841 and 9845 are listed in the St. Joe Division in
1954. 9731 and 9849 were assigned to the Hannibal Division in 1954. I don't
see 9843 on the 1954 assignment list. I'd like to know which motors were on
the Burlington locals, since I want to scratchbuild a couple of cars.

>From the May-September 1951 public timetable, train 176/177 ran between
Burlington and Galesburg, and train 110/109 ran between Burlington and
Quincy. Both trains ran daily except Sunday and both trains were assigned
motor cars. Train 7/78 ran between Burlington and Bloomfield, but it was a
mixed freight. A mixed freight ran from Burlington to Washington, but the
train number was not listed in the TT, just a note to consult the agent. The
power assignment table for Lines East shows the following cars were assigned
to the Galesburg Division in 1954:
9732, 9735, 9766, 9772, 9773, 9816, 9818, 9846
I don't know which motors were assigned to the Burlington locals.

Is there any information concerning a interurban single car from Burlington
Ia. to south or north in the late 1940's into the 1950's?
