I worked for the GM&O in 1947 shortly after they bought the Alton (nee C&A). The equipment looked pretty good then, but time takes its toll. My family seemed to always call it the Alton, altho sometimes the C&A, as it 's just easier. <br />I slept overnight on a bench in the waiting room at the Roodhouse station one night so I could catch the local going north up the branch to Ashland. All the 'seat dividers' were in place so I had to wiggle myself into a prone postion. Fortunately no one sounded a fire alarm or I would have decapitated myself by sitting bolt upright!! <br />Art
