 the CGW to Holcomb, IL where they went through the interchange track, onto=
 home road trackage of the11th Subdivision (Rockford branch).=C2=A0 Nine mi=
les south (TT "east") they could return to the 3rd Subdivision (C&I) at Fla=

avanna, IL and Oregon, IL.=C2=A0 Recall 4960 being used in April, 1965 to m=
ove trains through "submerged" trackage at Savanna (see Flickr file, for ph=
