Jack - Thanks. The fireman (probably shown standing in the doorway) may not
have yet placed the white flags marking the train as an extra. Also, a little
unusual from other FT photographs I've seen, is to just have a two
unit A/B lash-up on this circus train. I guess by the image's date in
the 50s or very early 60s the Q had separated all the four unit A-B-B-A lash-ups
into just A-Bs. Leo, Bud and Archie, were FT A-B lash-ups common during
your years in train service? Best Regards - Louis

Agreed
that is Davenport, Iowa with the Centennial bridge and ballpark
on the
left. Train is Northbound, most likely coming off the Milwaukee
Road's KC line and onto the DRI Line headed for Clinton, Iowa. What
is
interesting is that no white flags are shown, although the white class
light may be illuminated, since such a train would usually be operated
as an extra. One possibility is it is to be interchanged withe the
RI.
The date might be earlier than1960 (note the '46 or '4y auto on
the
extreme left.
