The Aurora Division used Galesburg Division track from Savanna to Denrock, which necessitated a "run off" of miles. This was done by a Galesburg engineer working way freight 11643 (Eola-Mendota-Savanna one day, return via C&I the next) for a certain amount of time. Two questions. First, I don't remember any trainmen running off miles. This was engine dept only? Second, I'm sure this kind of situation was present in many other locations, but where were some? And Leo, do you remember where #1 went (the Fox River?) when he got bumped by the snuffy? He was never too pleased. I assume 11643 was the run off job because it was the only regular job on the horn?
