Does any one have a roster from the Missouri & Illinois Railroad and the Gulf Coast.
I am looking for how many derrick wrecker they each had and road numbers as well as the capacity.
Thanks

Larry, I hope this ETT from1951 for the MI helps. Check out the Special Instructions pages. The MOW derricks are listed under speed restrictions. Jerry Michels

As you continue to put together your rosters just some notes on Mopac subsidiaries. There was never a Missouri & Illinois owned by the MP although most people pronounce it like that and I’ve seen it written that way in many captions etc. The railroad was the Missouri-Illinois RR. You also asked about the Gulf Coast Lines. This was an overall name for several roads; the equipment was either NOT&M or StLB&M owned and stenciled as such. Gulf Coast Lines would be seen spelled out on a pre-1924 lettered freight car but the actual reporting marks would be the two I noted. Good luck with your research.
