Louis...Having come out of that era myself I also made note of your dad's "uniform" and equipment"..ie dark suit, gray fedora, TT in pocket. The dark suit and WHITE shirt was mandatory...NO sport coats, no colored shirts, no "wild" ties. It was reported that shortly before I joined the Rock Island there was a meeting of alll the TRAINEES. One guy wore a sport coat...It was reported that D B Jenks, then presildent said.."Son....see you can find a coat that matches those pants"...
You, of course always had your Employees Timetable and, probably a rule book in your pocket...and of course your official, properly inspected pocket watch in a watch pocket in your pants.
As I said a couple days ago i think I might have a "clue" as to where this photo was taken...If the Omaha guys show up at our meeting tonight I'll see what I can find out...I've printed out the photo and will take it along...Sucked up lot of ink in printing due to lots of dark subjects, but I'm glad to "take one for the team.
Pete

Archie - No, it has to be somewhere in or around Omaha during 1956. Dad is wearing his best charcoal suit and a new gray fedora, classic wear for a CB&Q operating official of that era. No doubt that this Denver Zephyr train set movement was a really BIG deal. Also, note he has his employees timetable placed into the left side suit pocket. Dad was age 42 at the time, an up-and-coming assistant division superintendent on a fast track for promotion. As for location, there is a signal bridge just barely visible to the right of the E5 motor. This bridge might indicate a two track mainline. Is Pacific Junction a possibility? Comments please - Louis
