Old Santa fe Ry. train conductors and brakemen were based out Of Chillicothe,IL and Fort Madison, IA and worked Fort Madison-Chicago-Fort Madison. Chicago bases engineers and Fort Madison based firemen worked between Chicago and Fort Madison in photo# 1and 2.

crossed over to the ATSF South Track to get next to the platform. I believe the switches to do so were still in place at that time. Concur that the Horizon cars were probably for local Chicago - St. Louis traffic. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 08/18/16 05:03 by Englewood.
