[CBQ] CBQ rider and grandson of CBQ employee of 40 + yrs

["mos19z5h via Groups.Io" <mos19z5h=aol.com@groups.io>]

Hello,

I have a great interest in the CB&Q RR and the history of the development of the commuter trains, Turntables, and most of all my grandfathers employment confirment  and job titles.  Also identification of the Engine in the photo below.  My grandfather was in the forefront extreme right. The turntable was located in Downers Grove, Illinois until the mid 50s I believe. I saw it in action when I was a child.  My grandparents lived just next to the turntable on Warren Ave.   Grampa Ernest Leroy Johnson died in 1942.   He was a resident of Downers Grove.
