Number series were coordinated with MP, so it was a simple matter to reletter them later. Carl Railroader Emeritus (practiced railroading for 46 years--and in 2010 I finally got it right!)

I am sure we could get some others on here to go along with it and chip in for the price . . . sorry, I was having a Trainfinder22 moment. Thanks for all the info on the M-I. Very interesting. You aren't kidding when you say I was born a generation too late. My only fax machine belongs to the State of Indiana, something tells me that they would know it was me if a picture of trains came through over it. Thanks for the offer, but I better not misuse the taxpayer's funds. Thanks again for the info, very interesting. Gabe Reply MP173 Member sinceMay 2004 From: Valparaiso, In 5,921 posts Posted by MP173 on Friday, April 8, 2005 2:56 PM Gabe: You were born a generation too late! I actually have a picture of the Missouri-Illinois taken in Centralia, Illinois back in around March, 1975. If I remember correctly, basketball season had just ended at OCC and I drove to Centralia. My camera was a 110 Instamatic and the shot isnt too bad...features a lashup of three MoPac Geeps. The one in front is #233. Something in the back of my mind tells me it was a GP18, but I could be wrong. My 1953 Official Guide has 1 and half page spread on the M-I. Most of the officers of the company were also officers of MoPac. The did have a VP - F.A. Schwab in Bonne Terre, Mo....no doubt the General Manager of the operations. The mainline ran from Salem, Il to Kellogg, Il. I do not believe there was a bridge at Kellogg across the Mississippi. The OG shows a local passenger train running from Salem (dp 8:50am) and terminating in Flinton, Il at 11:57am. It then returned, leaving Flinton at 102pm, arriving in Salem at 415pm. These were trains #1 and #2. The Official Guide also shows: Train 91 Local Fht. leaving Salem at 730am Train 63 Red Ball Fht leaving Salem at 200pm Arrivals are: Train 62 Red Ball fht at Salem at 1100am Train 90 Local Fth at Salem at 115pm Other branches included Bonne Terre to Leadwood, Missouri; Sparta, Il to Shaw's Mine; Thomure, Mo. to Bismark, Mo (the extention of the Salem mainline in Missouri) and Riverside, Mo to Derby Jct. Mo. Notes indicate that traffic from Kellogg to Thomure are by "Car Ferry". Also service to Shaw's Mine is "temporarily discontinued." If the 1953 Official Guide is accurate, the M-I was a mighty busy railroad during the day at Salem, Il...a passenger, Red Ball, and local freight in each direction between 730am and 415pm. Anyone interested in a time travel trip back to Salem in 1953 to see the M-I, Chicago and Eastern Illinois plus the Baltimore and Ohio?
