Re: [CBQ] Red Oak & Griswold

["William Hirt" <whirt@fastmail.com>]

Rupert,

To add to what others have written, the May-October 1958 public timetable shows mixed train service Monday-Friday. Service left Red Oak at 11:45 am and arrived 1:30 pm at Griswold. Return service was leaving Griswold at 2:05 pm and arrived Red Oak at 3:35 pm.

The next public timetable I have is November 1959-April 1960. The actual train schedule is gone, but the timetable says Mixed Train Service - Consult Agent for Details for the Red Oak-Griswold line.

In the public timetable for May-October 1961, it now states Branch Line Train Service - Consult Agent for Details.

The last public timetable I have that shows this service is May-October 1966.

I have some Official Guides stored away. I'll try to get them out this weekend and see if they add anymore detail.

I am trying to establish when passenger service on the line from Red Oak to Griswold in western Iowa stopped operating. An ETT for April 1954 shows that the track is classified as a spur track within yard limits with no trains shown. However, a local newspaper was showing a daily except Sunday service at least until August 1954.

Does anyone have a passenger timetable covering the period between these dates and/or for the period after it to help identify the end of passenger service.

Thanks
