No doubt about it, the bells came from steam engines. As a boy in Osky, I delighted in climbing the grab irons of the hood of each RS1 to sit in front of the...
Al: you were more brazen than I. I mostly just stood there in awe. A sneek in the cab in the roundhouse was about it. I have wished many times that I had been...

I have a question about this section of the M&StL while we're on the subject. I have seen a station called Lockman on maps and timetables that was between...
Tim -- Lockman was indeed a station on the MStL, and not part of the Maxon interchange. Basically it was a coal mine location. While not certain, there may...
Lockman is shown on my DeLorme map at being at where 147th St. crosses the old M&StL in Monroe County. Latitude/Longitude: N41° 5.002', W92° 44.340' for...

At the end of a nice campaign finance report, The Flying Scotsman writes, "On to Maxon we found little evidence of a once busy interchange, although one can...
I don't kbnow why that would be Randy --after all, my credit card is backed with the full faith and integrity of Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac. I don't remember...
Speaking of Maxon and Albia--did the old North Star Limited change power when it arrived at Albia? Or, did MSL engines continue on to St Louis and then run...
Al, I do not know for sure, but I am guessing that the M&StL locomotive was cut off at Albia. This stands to reason since the Wabash train came from Des...
