Marty and others:
"Effective 12:01AM, Tuesday March 1, 1983, crew lodging at Akron, Colorado will be handled by 4B's Motel located on highway 34 east end of Akron."
The run-through agreement was signed on April 3, 1985, and run through between Denver and McCook was initiated on May 1, 1985.
Hope this answers all questions.

Do you or any of your fellow engineers know when Akron was discontinued as an engine crew change point? Amtrak dropped Akron as a stop in April 1987, and I'm thinking that was also about the time engine crews began running through between Denver and McCook.
The crew dormitory building at Akron, as I recall, was out of use by early in the BN era, possibly earlier, in favor of a local motel.
Thanks,

Does anyone know when Akron stopped being a crew change point and when the dormitory stopped being used? Also wanting to know when Amtrak stopped picking up passengers in Akron.
Thanks,
Brian
