It also depends on what you call 'commuter' service. In the earliest yrs (Q to Turner Jct via C&NW then Q to Aurora) in effect any Q train from Chicago to Aurora could be considered a 'commuter'. (ev

In your studies, how reliable have you found the dates in Richard C. Overton&#39;s Burlington Route book? I would think that, because it was written by an academician working from company records, it
