Yes, traffic has been so re-jumbled, I cannot say what is on the old CB&Q
anymore. At one time many SP trackage right's trains rand the line, but now I
think there's maybe 2-4 trains a day on the line, though I hope I'm wrong. I
also understand the remnants of the old H&StJO/ CB&Q are still visible on the
roadbed west of Brookfield, relay cab and signal foundations and the regular
"left behind" relics of an abandoned roadbed.. something to think about..
