Fwd: [CBQ] Gas Electric in Rochelle, IL

[qutlx1@aol.com]

This second photo sure looks like #42 going east at the Rochelle depot. What is viewable of the depot would be correct for Rochelle and the elevator would be in the right position.

As we've discussed the job didnt exist by 1951. Without going into the BRT/UTU files and searching my memory says the motor car came off in 1948.

 

Just wondering out loud if after the motor car came off it was used on the Rockford wayfreight for awhile ? But that job hauled a fairly good train down to Flag Center and back to Rockford each night each night.

 

??????????????

Here is another of his photos of a gas-electric in what appears to be Rochelle to me:

Maybe the dates are wrong?  I wouldn't expect a gas-electric, especially with a trailing unit to be in Rochelle in 1951.

Good question Rich,

 

If the location is identified correctly. From the photo the site appears to be looking west and the car is on the west end of the Kennedy track.

#41/42 was the daily motor car between Rockford and Aurora but by 1950 it is not in the C&I ETT. It is in the 1947.

 

The Rockford wayfreight ran from Rockford to Rochelle each night and return. Could this be the Rockford wayfreight powerrunning late and  tied up for beans before going back to Rockford ?

If this dealer has the location correct, there was a Gas-Electric in Rochelle, IL. in January 1951.  Why would that be?
