Dearborn

 

Here is an interesting photo taken at Dearborn Station in the late 40's or early 50's.  Note the Santa Fe steam engine switching.  Since the AT&SF was not one of the owners of the Chicago & Western Indiana and thus Dearborn, they did their own switching.  The C&WI switched for the Wabash, C&EI, Monon, GTW and Erie, its owners.  Note also the two sets of Monon passenger F's; probably one for the Louisville train and the other for the Indianapolis train.  Also of special interest are what appear to be Railway Express Agency trailers that appear right above the boiler of 0-8-0 # 825.  Do these look like they might be the same type of trailer that you are working on at HVRM?   Les
