Quick update. I’ve been sent copies of the alignment tracks, so that is one item off my list, and leads to photos of the Griswold and Elliott depots. I’m still hoping for a photo of the Stennett depot and a date when passenger operations on this line ceased. I understand that the track to Stennett survived, at least until 1982, to serve the elevator at Stennett.

For a Burlington Bulletin article, I’m researching the Red Oak to Griswold Branch which opened in 1891, with a single intermediate stop at Elliott. Later a stop was added at Stennett, between Red Oak and Elliott.

Hoping that someone can help with -
     Photos of Stennett, Elliott and Griswold depots (I’m aware of the ones of the last two named towns found in Bulletin 22).
     Track alignment chart for the branch
     When passenger service finished on the line – the latest date I’ve found was 1949

Thank you.
