Monon on the Chicago and Wabash Valley

[Tom Kepshire]

Here are some images of Monon equipment on the old Chicago and Wabash Valley branch. No dates, and photos may be near to Kersey. First one is of Monon Steam Locomotive #65 with Monon boxcar car passing through Kersey, or perhaps Goodland?? Second photo is a work train on the line. No exact location known. Monon #100 on the C&WV mainline at the Kersey elevator.

Here is another picture that also shows the Kersey Elevator. These are the ladies behind the railroaders. Standing is Mary's grandmother Reva Stroup. On the engine is her sister-in-law Pearl (Stroup) Smith, who's husband Orville Smith, was killed in a railroad accident at Gifford. It also shows the mainline.
