Greetings,
Rail author and historian Steve Goen emailed the following request regarding
material for the 3rd volume in his Passenger Trains of Texas series that will
focus on the Burlington. If you bought his 2nd book, Passenger Trains of Texas
- Rock Island you were treated to some rare Zephyr - Rocket material.
"for the Passenger Trains of Texas - Burlington, I'm looking for photos of the
Wichita Falls to Abilene, Texas doodlebug run. CB&Q motor #9842 was assigned to
Trains No. 111 & 112. Last day of service was October 29, 1949.
Also looking for photos of any passenger operations on the Childress to Lubbock
line, including conventional steam trains of FW&D motor 20. Last day for Trains
No. 101 & 102 was October 21, 1950.
Lastly, any photos of the Childress to Pampa mixed trains No. 91 & 92. Last
date of service was sometime between January and May 1950."
You can reach Steve through his website

or contact me off list for his email address.
Thanks.
Randy Danniel
