Fred

Thanks very much for looking. It’s interesting that the company was not listed in the ORER by August 1892, as that was nearly 12 months after it was converted from narrow gauge. The CFtM&DM entry in the Iowa Railroad Commissioners’ Report for the year ending June 1892 makes no mention of waycars/cabooses although it lists the other (standard gauge) equipment.

Does anyone have an ORER from between August 1892 and August 1893 who could look for the CFtM&DM?

Rupert:

I have a copy of Westerfield's CD for August 1892 ORER and I do not see a listing for the Chicago Fort Madison and Des Moines.

I’m trying to find out the origin and fate of the two waycars – A51 and A53 - owned by the Chicago, Fort Madison & Des Moines. I think that they were built in 1892-3, possibly by Mt Vernon Car Manufacturing who built all the other freight cars acquired when the road was changed from NG to standard gauge in September 1891.

In 1900, the CB&Q took over the company and the two waycars were assimilated into the CB&Q numbering system during 1901. The ORER’s show that the total number of waycars increased at the same time that these cars ceased to be listed, but the range of numbers shown - 1-288 and 300-304 – did not change. Were they allocated numbers of cars that had been destroyed or did they become 289 and 290 but with no record?

I’ve checked the Waycars books as well as the Iowa Peavine book without success.

On the same subject, has anyone an 1892 or early 1893 ORER (pre-August 1893) who could check when these cars were first listed?

Thanks
