DRGW 5402         
This is the westbound CDK. The D&RGW and NS had a coal train that ran from Colorado to Bluffs, IL where it was transloaded to a barge. The power and caboose would run light to Decatur after the train was set out. The next afternoon, the light power would be called west after SC-1. That gave the crew plenty of time to put the empties together and head west to Kansas City.

Tom Massey General Thanks for sharing your Springfield photos, this era was just before I became interested in rail photography. As a lifelong Splfd resident and the son of as ex- REA driver/handler, I truly enjoyed these photos. 8/8/2007 12:33:36 AM
