5. This train is the early morning "Pick Up"

If the train had a number, it was never used on the dispatcher's line. It could run 80 cars long. Yes it was a heck of a train to be doing local switching, but it did weekdays. This day the power was CB&Q F7A 165A, F3B 165B, and F3A 165C, i.e., half of an ABBA F3 set with an F7A added.

 

These photos were taken while I was the agent substituting for the vacationing regular agent at Milledgeville on the CB&Q in August of 1964. See Photo 1 for details.
