    Thanks Richard. I can make an educated guess but what's the difference between motor, local, and freight on the ETT's.

    I think it refers to the MotorCars.

    The motor cars were the gas-electrics or doodle-bugs. Folks on the Frisco, especially those in SE MO called them Bull Mooses, because of the sound of their horn.

    The 3rd Class locals were freights that called on every town, as required, to switch. Even though they weren't mixed trains, in many cases they carried passengers in the caboose. Check the Special Instructions to determine which trains did.

    Richard,
    I appreciate the time and effort you are expending to make all these scans. Believe me, I know it takes both. My experience working with Central Division ETT's showed me that the one piece of information you need may exist on only one timetable and never be duplicated again. Each one is important in its own way. I can hardly wait to see what you may have for that division.

    Richard: I see where the pre-WWII employee timetables do not contain tonage ratings. Were these in special instructions? I'd be curious to see the difference in before/after ratings of the Dixon Hill realignment.

    Rick,
    I simply do not know the answer to your question. There are no special instructions that I am aware of for those years. Does anyone else the answer?

    I'm impressed with the information in the ETT's, and I really appreciate the effort you've made to put them on-line. By any chance, do you know what station is represented by "YA" (as on a freight car reweigh date)? I've deduced that "SP" is Springfield, and I imagine "SN" is Snyder, but I can't find a plausible candidate for "YA".

    Joe:
    First, welcome aboard!

    One of the past FMIG Newsletters (#44 - January, 1986) has a list of "SL-SF Shop Symbols, Used When Stenciling...". You can find it here:

    And ..... there is the "KW" Frisco shop here in Frontenac, MO. Some strange things heppen down there from time to time!

    :) ;) :D

    Ken

    ps - Like a SLSF E8B to match the PTT cover (!), a Racehorse PA1 (!), and an Alco S-4 in Frisco b/y colors with gothic lettering (!). This last unit is well in the works as we speak.

    The Frisco had none of these, but maybe they should have. :cool:
