Re: [CBQ] train number question

Thanks Ken!  As you might guess, I'm focused on the Iowa side and was simply trying to determine whether it was conceivable that a motorcar stood in for the MTZ/#43 on occasion.

By my layout date, though, #43 was off the schedule, so the question was academic.

I'll be fudging reality to have trains #1 and 44 still come through Keokuk!

Duncen,

Dorin's "Everywhere West The Burlington Route" p32 has a picture of train #110 using 9816 headed for Quincy via Carthage in 1952.

9815 - 9818 were imported in brass some years ago.

Thanks Dave and John.  It would be the Burlington to Quincy train I was thinking of.  I'd seen a picture of a motorcar in Burlington that was presented as train #43 (which could have been, but certainly wasn't typical).  I then thought that maybe the Illinois-side train had the same number, being in another division.  So I'm left assuming that, at least on one occasion #9849, was used on train #43.

Thanks again.

Duncan
