Howdy folks,

An ole' FMIG buddy named Norman Eubanks surfaced recently. He doesn't use computers and asked me to post a few questions online for him. In the old days, he'd simply post the question in the FMIG newsletter and answers would come forth...

His first question is about Bolivar train operations and industries:

"Circa 1975-1978 on Bolivar Branch (after abandonment of middle part of "High Line", what industries were shipping in:

Bolivar
Walnut Grove

He also asks whether the MFA Elevator was ever rebuilt?

What were Bolivar branch train numbers and frequency of runs? One older timetable had 1310 north and 1313 south.

Best,
mike
