has to be Hearne or north of it? No 341 in 1952 -- just 343 http://wx4.org/to/foam/sp/maps/zukasETT/1952-06-29Dallas%26Austin52-TimZukas.pdf Date: 05/23/20 22:27 Re: SP Fs at icing station Author: mopacsouth Could it be Edinburg, Texas? They did have a ice dock.

Once more, using Ed Gibson's wx4 website, a GREAT source of information for all things about operations see: http://wx4.org/to/foam/sp/maps/perryETT/1956-05-20T%26NO_Dallas%26Austin54-SheldonPerry.pdf Sheldon Perry's collection of SP's T&NO "Dallas and Austin Division" timetables 54 & 56 from 1956 and 1959 show No. 341, a second class schedule originating in Englewood (Houston) and terminating at Denison, Texas. Now we just have to find the location of this ice deck in John Endler's photo posted by RWJ. Thank you Sheldon and Ed! Charlie |
