John,

Thanks for the great photos. I grew up in Independence on the old
GEEMO. Brings back great memories.

Yeah great stuff. The IC/ICG I grew up with was symbolized by most trains being pulled by large numbers of Paducah Geeps (6 unit lashups were very common), just a smattering of high horsepower units on the more important trains and six axle power being hardly ever seen. My earliest experience with GM&O was seeing unit coal trains with their engines (black & white livery) and caboose running over the EJ&E.

Thanks for the memory stimulation.
