Re: [CBQ] Council Bluffs exchange

["Leo Phillipp via groups.io" <qutlx1=aol.com@groups.io>]

My memory of the Range Research book(sold it years ago and now being offered by the BRHS archives as a reprint) is that it also listed many through cars west bound going to the west coast.

Rupert,

If you access to it, Ed DeRouin's book Moving Mail and Express by Rail has consists of through cars that moved through Council Bluffs Transfer from CB&Q trains to the UP.

I am looking at through mail from Chicago to the West Coast via Council Bluffs and vice versa. I found a note that mail could not be passed through by the car load, so presumably it would have been unloaded from a Burlington train and transferred to a UP train. Is that correct? Who operated the transfer point? Was there a difference between eastbound and westbound mail?

Thank you.
