Hello everyone,
In my research of the St. Louis line, I have seen mention of a coal train 291/292.
From what few pictures and videos I've managed to find, it shows GP39X and GP50s for power with what appears to be 4 bay hoppers. The pictures and videos were taken in 1985/1986.
My questions are as follows:
Was 291/292 around 1980-1982, if so where did it load and unload?
With the exception of the GP39Xs, would this info be revelant for the 1980-early 1982 period?
Does anyone know of a HO-scale model of the 4 bay hoppers?
Did the 360000-series 100-ton cars get used on St. Louis line, if so, from where to where? Train number? Typical power?
