Re: [CBQ] NE10

["qutlx1@aol.com [CBQ]" <CBQ@yahoogroups.com>]

A little digging in The Burlington Waycars shows local chrmn Metz Aurora assigned w/c's as of 8/1/68 w/7 Waycars in the C&I pool,each assigned to a specific Condr(lot of memories came back looking at those names). Each are wood. The Ne10s are shown on other docs. At Cicero in transfer, KC same and Ottumwa div.

Guess C&I pooled Waycars was even later ........

Bob,

The C & I pool was one of the last to pool w/c's. I'm still digging in the BRT files for a definitive date. But so far research and oral history points to (yes,believe it) 1967/68. The La Crosse div.

Crews pooled before the C&I guys so at least until around this time the swapping of w/c's took place at Savanna.

Since the C&I crews wanted to keep their assigned cars all newer equipment went to the pools.

Therefore while it may have happened I have no record of an assigned NE 10 to the C&I crews.

There is a 1968 Aurora div assigned Waycar roster in the latest Waycar book. all are wood.

Someday hope to a do piece on handling of assigned w/c's at the various Aurora division yards(the files are full of info/complaints). Adding assigned w/c's to a layout operation would add a lot of switching and realism.

Was looking at threads about waycars in the archives and wondered whether NE10's were ever assigned to the C&I in pre-pool days, i.e. the early 1950's. Suppose I should also ask for clarification on when pooling began. Thanks,

Bob Herrick
