Aaron,

The speed limits can be pulled from the employee timetables. Several from the Chicago & Aurora division and the LaCrosse division can be found online at:

http://wx4.org/to/foam/maps/and_timetables5.html

If you need more than that, you can ask about a specific time period.

If you have not looked at them, you may want to check out the annual Trains magazine passenger train speed surveys they published until the late 1960's. The Chicago-Twin Cities trains of the Q were almost always at the top of the list.

I'm helping write a Shore Line Historical Society book on the Chicago-Twin Cities passenger corridor. I'm wondering if anyone has a map or other description of the passenger train speed limits on the Twin Zephyr route.

Also looking for info and photos on the La Crosse street running to the old downtown depot.

If any of this is in a Burlington Bulletin back issue, please let me know.
