There is a section on the Southern Iowa in Iowa Trolleys in Color by Edward Ridolph.  No photos of the Q unfortunately but nice coverage of the electric line.

 

Thank you kindly,

Pete, can you tell me anything about the Southern Iowa Utilities railroad?  If it interchanged with the K&W at Centreville, I'd like to learn about it and add it to my write-up on the K&W.

As Bob Hope used to say, thanks for the memoires. 

 

If 9769 had controls at each end, was there a reason for your engineer not using them both? 

9769 was single-ended until it was converted from baggage-mail to baggage in about 1957 but I don’t know how firm that date is.

All the photos I've seen of the '69 show it as a double end car with both ends painted in the red-yellow paint scheme.  I don't remember the rear end being painted at the time I was there and I do know that our engineer never ran the car from the rear end..We backed up with the waycar ahead from Clay Center to Sutton.
