The book also listed events in each individual trip such as stops for hot box repairs, being shunted for other trains,etc. These books originally belonged to Conductor C.K. Rode of Toledo West. Any errors in the consists as regards numbering, roads, etc. are my fault- Conductor Rode's handwritten notes were sometimes hard to decipher. A fascinating and detailed look at freight operations on the Toledo Division in the mid 1950s!
