Re: [CBQ] Motor cars

I was a tech student at Centerville Community College in Centerville, IA from 1965 to 1967.  Our tech building was right across the street from the Southern Iowa.  I remember that they quit using electric traction for the trains and were using a Burlington motorcar.  I wasn't taking pictures yet in those days.  Stupid me.  The one advantage with the SIR using the Burlington motorcar was the rotary convertor wasn't turned on.  Our college ham station dipole antennas were parallel to the overhead wire and the rotary convertor would knock out all signals on the low bands.
