Once Kens info. Surfaced I too began thinking these were NYC trains,but what confused me was That the order didn't specify NYC(I,I,&I or C,I,&S.).

Leo and Group:
I had been looking at those orders, and once again, two of them refer to engine numbers that are definitely not CB&Q locomotive numbers. Since the II&I already had close ties to the NYC System in 1905, I'm assuming that the locomotives referred to are New
York Central System engines.

Leo,
A quic search found:

There are some 1905 Q train orders on eBay,and I have similar ones in my collection that
Order a crew to move extra from I.I.&I. Jct to other points on the Aurora Div. line from Streator to Walnut. So I checked my 1895,1905 and 1920s ETTs and could not find that
Point.
Can anyone assist me in identifying where this point was ? I am pretty sure it was around
Ladd as these orders basically direct the crews to run extra to points like Zearing, Hegler,La Salle,etc and return. Based on my prior research I suspect these are blocks of coal loads out of Ladd.
Appreciate any help,
Leo
