The archaeologist traveling from New York would have most likely ridden the PRR to Chicago, and then west on the Burlington. PRR used the same Chicago station (Union) as the CB&Q so that would have been the logical choice. But there were several routing choices between NY and Chicago in that era including NYC, B&O, Erie, or even DL&W/NKP.

Hi all,
I'm researching some historic details about a dinosaur dig in 1934, and stumbled upon a couple of things concerning the burlington RR with which I hope some of you could help me. First, it is reported that one member of the digging crew traveled by Burlington RR from New York to Billings, Montana, in May 1934, but for what I understood, the Burlington didn't have any trains going to New York, so I wondered which route he took exactly?
Also, I have the following three photos that supposedly show people loading dinosaur fossils on a box car in Greybull, Wyo, in November 1934, but the first two show a union pacific boxcar, and the third one from burlington. Also the buildings on the left seem to be different. As recorded, a single boxcar was sent back east from that excavation, however. Does anybody here have an idea from where these photos are, and which one really shows Greybull in Nov 1934?
Thanks so much in advance for any help you can provide!
All the best,
Emanuel
