Duncan and Ray,

It could have been one of the Choo Choo specials run for school children. They were frequent in that time frame and many were not well documented beyond the local area. I am still looking for fan trip / Choo Choo special records with specific dates from/to points to update the spread sheet in the files section of the list. I have added your information, Ray, to the master spread sheet. Thank you.

I photographed the 4960 southbound north of Keokuk, IA on 20 April 1963. 
I noted on my slide that it was pulling an 18 car "passenger special." The 
first car appears to be a Burlington coach. I lived in Fort Madison at 
the time. It may have been a school children's excursion, but I don't from 
know where to where.
