Thanks Bill,

I'm really trying to nail down the operational history of the train as part of my right-up on Keokuk.

Duncan,

On the May-October 1961 time period, looking again, by that time Train 15 had been cut back to Chicago-Galesburg instead of Chicago-Hannibal. So no more diner coming into Burlington on Train 15 and then going south on Train 8. I have some Official Guides from the period. If I get a chance, I'll look to see if they have some additional information.

Bill, that's exactly the kind of original source info I was hoping someone could come up with.

Thanks.  So it appears that the kind of exchange that Steve Suhs described could well have taken place, but likely did not involve a Vista-dome car, at least on a regular basis.
