There is an excellent photo on page 92-93 of a CRI&P train leaving northbound from Manly, Iowa. My Dad was a CRI&P telegraph op there in the '20s. 3 railroads crossed there and they would handle over a hundred trains per day on multiple tracks. Mom recalled there were many days when he would return from work with his lunchbox unopened due to no time to eat. Manly, Iowa is much quieter now. <br /> <br />Just 5 miles up the track north of where this photo was taken is the town of Kensett, Iowa. In 1934 he was station agent there and that's where I was born. [:)]
