I see in the photo that the Switch Foreman, John Lawrence, is wearing a sweater – is that how he got his nickname of “Fuzzy”?
Also interesting to note the various types of hats being worn…

The photo of #1307 and crew did not come through…can you re-send it?
I live in Abingdon, IL but work here in Monmouth so I find anything on the local RR history interesting.
Thank you,
Peter
There was a partial history and a photo in the BRHS’s Zephyr #35 publication from 1997, with a note in Zephyr #36, as attached.
And thanks for sharing the photo of #1307

I would love to obtain a good photo and history of Costello Tower in Monmouth. It was named after a relative and my Grandpa worked in the tower as a young man. His father was the engineer of CB&Q Switcher 1307 in Monmouth.
