Thanks for the clarification, Bill. Employee Timetables for the early 1950s are
hard to find. Mediapolis was Rock Island territory, and the start of Q track on
the Branch, so I would think the operator was a RI employee, or did the Q have
their own operator/agent there? I've been told that the Q couldn't switch
Latty, Sperry, and Mediapolis since it was on RI rails and the Q only had
trackage rights.

On the Burlington and Washington Subdivision, Mount Union was listed as an open
office from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm Monday-Friday in the Ottumwa and Creston
Division Employee Timetable 84 effective April 25, 1954.
Crawfordsville Washington and Winfield also shown as having offices open
8:00 am to 5 pm Monday-Friday. Mediapolis was shown having at open office from
7:30 am to 4:30 pm. There is a note in the Employee Timetable that there was no
train order signal at Mediapolis and Washington and Conductor and Enginemen
must have Clearance Form A when operator on duty. The next issuance I have is
Timetable 90 effective October 27, 1957 and all five stations are shown as
having no office.
There is also no reference to the train order signals at any station.
