Steve - Thanks for the compliment on the Red Oak image. I'll be posting a couple of other Don Seeger images in the near future. I recall that you hired-on after my Dad had been promoted from Chicago Division Superintendent to System Manager TOFC and Merchandise Service. But, do you remember Forester Dusell, Sam Carbone, Earl Currie or others from that era? I well remember the Chicago Division Dispatcher's Office in Freight House 9 at Cicero as it was located immediately adjacent to Dad's office with its own private door so he could slip in and see what was going on. Always, a very busy place to be. Much appreciate your years of service in keeping the Q (and later BN) "fluid." Best Regards - Louis

Thanks Louis very nice photo
I worked the Ottumwa Sub Dispatchers desk in Cicero and helped move in the CTC Red Oak West back in the 70's(moved from P Jct to the dispatchers desk) Then worked 2nd trick for about 7 years while in the Galesburg office before getting back to the 2nd trick Mainline and took the job to Ft. Worth in '93 till '99 when I moved to 2nd trick Union Ave till I retired in '09.  Now in my garden in SC.

Subj: Train Time At Red Oak (1)

Art And Group - As promised, I pulled an envelope with old photos given by CB&Q Ottumwa Division Trainmaster Don Seegar to my dad M.L. Zadnichek who was Ottumwa Division Superintendent in 1960. I do not know if Don took this image, or if Bernard Corbin did, per Hol's earlier comments about copying and trading photos during that era. In any event, Don passed it and others to my Dad for his collection.
 
The following image shows CB&Q Class S-4 No. 3012 with Train No. 6 at Red Oak, IA, on November 2, 1941. The 3012 was the only Class S-4 engine to be built at the West Burlington Shops in 1935. All other S-4 engines were built by Baldwin. The 3012 had a short service 20-year life being scrapped in 1955.
 
This photo is from the Collection of M.L. Zadnichek. 
 
 
I'll leave it to Hol or other Group members to describe just where in Red Oak this photo was taken and details of Train No. 6. Looks like it was a beautiful late Fall day in Iowa to be out train watching as the US prepared to enter World War Two. Best Regards - Louis

Art - Yes, by all means share the photograph with Don Seegar's son Alan in Galesburg. I have a number of other Q steam photos taken at Red Oak that Don gave to my Dad. I'll be happy to post some. Don and his wife (can't remember her name) were good friends "off-the-property" of my Dad and Mom's. I can remember visiting the Seegar home on Sunday afternoons in Ottumwa for social get-togethers. I don't remember Alan, but I suppose we may've met in Ottumwa. Don and my Dad stayed in touch up until my Dad's death in 1981. I have many fond memories of Ottumwa during the time we lived there when Dad was Ottumwa Division Superintendent in the late 1950s. Thanks for responding. Best Regards - Louis

After following this group for the last several years now, it's nice to see a post about the Q in SW Iowa and a name who I know! :) My Dad, Raymond Lischer was a close friend of Don Seeger.  They both grew up in Red Oak. Dad worked for the CB&Q and later BN from Red Oak and later Creston from 1941-1986. Don retired to Creston and he and Dad were close the last 20 years of their lives. 

Don's son Alan lives in Galesburg and has many items from his Dad's collection. 

With your permission, I would like to send this photo to Alan to see if he knows anything about its origin. Let me know if that's okay. 

Best Regards, 

Art Lischer
