The CB&Q Depot at Chadwick, Illinois -- Inside and Trains -- 8 Photos
The towns of Chadwick and Milledgeville had a Joint Agency when I was substituting for three weeks for the regular agent in August 1964. "Joint" meant I worked Milledgeville in the morning and Chadwick after lunch. The towns are on the single track line from Aurora to Savanna, most of the way to Savanna. I'll let the captions with the photos tell the story.
8. CB&Q E9A 9987A with Train 32 the eastbound Empire Builder on the 13th. 9987A was beat up 6 weeks later in the wreck at Montgomery Tower. She was repaired and became BN 9987.
