Re: [CBQ] Last 15-42 at Salem, Nebraska

["HOL WAGNER" <holpennywagner@msn.com>]

I can't explain the three-way meet, but No. 15-42 was filled with railfans that day, riding its last run.  The train normally consisted of motor car 9767, painted aluminum to match its trailer, the Silver Pendulum.  But the 9767 was ill that day so an E7 substututed for it.

While working on the Seacrest Collection at the LSRM this morning, I came across this photo and wanted to share it here. Perhaps Pete Hedgepeth can fill in some more details.



CB&Q F3AB Nos. 127AB and another F-unit AB set meet passenger train 15-42 and Salem, Nebraska, on February 24, 1962. This was the last southbound run of Train 15-42, a Lincoln-Kansas City local. The Q's one-of-a-kind pendulum car, Silver Pendulum, brings up the markers on 15-42. The negative envelope notes this was a 3-way meet, but only two trains are visible in the photo. - Jim Seacrest photo, James Seacrest Collection, Lake Superior Railroad Museum
