Duncan,

The disconnected section probably had to do with trainmen union
agreements, sonority and protecting those jobs.

I know of similar instances on the Milwaukee.  there are probably
other instances of this also happening on the CBQ as well.

Steve,
Thanks.  Interesting that it continued to be part of Ottumwa with no physical connection to the rest of that division.

14.59 miles from Birmingham to Batavia was abandon 10/12/39

6.39 Miles Birmingham to Stockport  was abandon 5/14/56

Ft. Madison to Stockport abandon 6/1/80

The track chart of 1/6/60 shows it as Ottumwa Div.

Working the Ottumwa Job in the Dispatchers office in Cicero we would put out a work extra for it every day at Ft. Madison

Also so St. Joe to Humeston and we ran the branches out of Creston, Villisca and Red Oak.  and Albia to Des Moines for three years with the Wabash(NW) the other three years.
