[CBQ] Re: Brach line traffic

You also might check out Dave Lotz's excellent Burlington Bulletin No. 30 on 
the Washington IA branch. It covers the line's history (originally 3' gauge), 
includes station maps for the line (I hope I'm using the term properly), and 
has some great photos of its various incarnations of mixed trains over the 
years.
