THanks Rupert...I knew it went to the Southern Iowa, but anything after that was "guesswork" which...as in this case was...shall we say....inaccurate.

9769 was sold to Southern Industrial RR, Centreville Iowa in February 1966, then it went to Keweenaw Central, and then to Sperry Rail Service in June 1971 where it was apparently used as for spares - Sperry owned quite a few gas electrics.

 

In 1953, it had single end control only, and there is a photo in Burlington In Transition taken in November 1960 with double end controls. I have a note that the extra controls were fitted about 1957 (but no idea where the note came from!)

Richard...I noticed in some publications that the 9769 was double ended and I don't know if it was when I worked it or not...I just know that our engineer never ran it from the rear end..We always backed up from Clay Center to Sutton.

 

The car later went to the Southern Iowa railroad at Centerville, IA and, apparently scrapped from there.
