Scott,yes and yes. Up until pooled way cars were used. La Crosse and GT lodges went to pooled cars earlier than Aurora.

When I see you at the fall meet we can get out a Track  diagram and we can do a play by play.

Leo,

Was Savanna the crew change point for the eastbound trains going down the pea vine?  Did the waycars for that route also swap out at Savanna.  That will make my Savanna yard job a bit more interesting.

Thanks,

Scott Stearns

Assuming you're talking about under The Q and not BN/BNSF. Crews changed at Savanna and La Crosse. If you want to add another layer of authenticity don't forget to make the waycar changes at each point also. At Savanna this lasted until the very late 1960s between Aurora crews and La Crosse crews. The Aurora men in the C&I pool were one of the last maybe the very last to agree to pooled waycars.

Hi everyone I am wondering if anyone knows the crew change points from St. Paul to Chicago. I am trying to replicate freight operations on my layout. Thanks!
