Were the yellow cars in your pictures south of Galesburg?

I have seen photographs of both the yellow cars and hood units on 47 & 48 so I know they operated in the 60's. Just because you didn't see them does not make it untrue.

I used to see No 47 every day and never saw a hood unit or yellow cars.  I think different equipment may have been used from St Louis to Galesburg.  I am thinking it may have been a motor train part of the way.  And then became a standard train further north which may have had the yellow cars.

47 & 48 ran behind hood units at times near the end of their day. They also used the ex C&NW cars (still painted yellow) near the end. 47 & 48 came off in the early 60's.

This is the slide that was on e-Bay.  I only remember passenger units on those trains and they ran behind my parents house while I was growing up in Canton, Illinois.

I think it was marked wrong but I may also be wrong.  Could this picture be Farmington, Iowa?  It was served by a mixed train in 1960.
