ATSF 7427 Westbound VMCOK3-31 West of Galesburg IL
As big companies worry more about making money, the customer seems to get less service. Good customer service like this from the railroads is getting hard to find. The Santa Fe had a few stories over the years of running an extra train to get something madeup or moved quickly. Here the McCook, IL, to Oklahoma City, OK, vehicle train has 6 box cars for a train. Track speed well in hand as they work west on the Chilly Sub few miles outside of Galesburg. Had a "3" for a symbol, so I don't think it was shutdown type stuff, but it went either way!
Scanned Slide from 8-31-95.
