Charlie I have been to the National Archives three different times, at both Suitland and College Park. I was digging through the ICC valuation reports, but my focus was stockpens in Iowa, which included the CB&Q. I also got into some CBQ in Missouri. Its been a long time since I looked at those files, but I don’t recall much of anything from Illinois. Besides stockpens I did copies files on depots and other structures I found especially interesting from a modeler’s viewpoint, ie roundhouses, water tanks, coaling trestles and the like.

 

David Pfeiffer, was the Archivist I worked with the first two times. He was instrumental in saving the ICC Railroad Valuation reports and has written a book on the records, what the contain and how to access them.

All-

 

My Bulletin 61 arrived in Middle Tennessee a couple of days ago and it sure covers a nice range of material…most of which is new to me in spite of my digging into the history of the East End and many research trips to the Newberry over the last half century or more….

One of the items answered a question which will allow a follow-up article to be started for a future Bulletin or Zephyr issue.

 

Something I have been forgetting to ask the group at large:

Has anyone done research into the Valuation Archives to see what material (photos, drawings, notes, sketches, surveys) exists for the East End?   If anyone has done work in the National Archives or had them copy information I would very much like to correspond with you.   If any of the material exists it might answer questions on stations that were out of service but still existed like Douglas Park, Millard Avenue, Crawford, Morton Park, Clyde, etc. which have so far turned up very little in the way of photos or other data.

 

Thanks,
Charlie Vlk
