10) Setting Up a Car Card / Waybill System for the BTRR

[@TPW900GP35]

Just found your channel, or, rather, your channel found me!
I grew up in Chenoa, so am well
acquainted with the GM&O/ICG!
Also worked for the TP&W right
out of high school! I live in Indiana, now! I worked for the
original TP&W for about seven
years. As a child, living right along the TP&W, I was about
three blocks from the depot/
diamond where TP&W crossed
the GM&O/ICG. I would jump on
my bike or go tearing down to
the depot at the sound of a train. I remember the CWEX coal trains, RS2’s, the start of
Amtrak when the E units powered them, the F unit powered through trains. ICG
brought ex-GM&O GP38 powered locals for a while,
before being replaced by their
numerous Geep rebuilds. I
never saw CWEX trains powered by other than ex-GM&O SD40’s. Enjoyed your video! Will try to find more of them!

Also, as a P.S., I lived in Bloomington for a while, so experienced ‘90’s NS, the last
days of the CR locals to Peoria,
and the SP!
