Jan, Think there is a spot called that between Savanna and Burke. I've recently aquired a photo of a CB&Q crane in "the Big Cut". Anyone know where that is at? Cheers! Jan [Non-text portions of this

As an interesting aside the dividing point between the Lincoln and McCook Divisions in the mid 40's was between Kenesaw and Heartwell. Why is that interesting? When Digicon set up the currently used
