Paul, All I can tell you is the "North End" (La Crosse Div ) had locals and secondary trains as we did on the C&I. The mtys I was asking about were moving east on the p/u from Savanna and had origina

To a certain subset of members of this group. Per the 1939 ETT how would you like a guaranteed DH from Clyde even though this dinky is not scheduled to stop ? Per the footnotes in the 1939 ETT #215 w

The 1939 ETT C&A Div. footnotes instruct #224 and #122 to stop opposite Hawthorne Yard office,when flagged for grain inspection reports. These were both mid morning dinkies so I guess the reports wer

Just a note that while the ETTs are about as close to exact recorded Q history as we can get on the operations side. I would advise they are far from flawless: Fox River Branch: 1939- w/f leaves Eola

Thanks Steve. The 1967 edition of the track/engineering drawing still shows what I think is a property number (#11) on the structure. The next building to the West and across the tracks(the glass rep

Dustin, I can only pass on what my research and interviews with the old heads has revealed. (Pete has been a great help in my research.) What I have learned is that each w/f had an LCL car for the sm

Pete, I sent the LCL email at 9:48 last night about 9:50 I realized my mistake in referring to demurrage instead of per diem. But I thought there were only a few who would catch it and wanted to see
