Thanks, Nolen, this information gives me another local
to run out of Burlington.
There?s one other question I have about switchers
assigned to Burlington. I know that NW-2s ran to Washington, but
none were assigned according to the 1952 list. I have photos of 9219, 9232,
9240, and 9246 in Washington or on the branch line in the early 1950s. Were
the NW-2s considered road switchers and assigned separately? I have photos of
a GP-7 in Washington in the early 1950s, so I know that road switchers
occasionally made the run.

Nelson,
I don't know it
for fact but surmise the key lies in the assignment listed on the 3/6/52
assignment sheet for 9135 "Galesburg -Galva-New Boston". I'm thinking
the routing would have been Burlington-Oquawka-Keithsburg-New Boston(all on
the river) and then eastward Aledo-Alpha-Galva. Generally speaking
Galesburg would have been
on the hypotenuse of the triangle, and hence bypassed.

I was surprised to see 9135 assigned to
Burlington-Galva. That sees strange, since Galesburg is about
half way between the two. Can anyone explain this assignment?
