To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Chicago-Peoria-St. Louis line used Lockhaven as a "transfer" point with the main line running to and from Jerseyville. The line to Elsah, Chautauqua, and Grafton was a spur line. We learned the Dinky was one of three rail buses available for the line, and was the smallest of the three — hence its name. Prior to 1 933, more conventional trains served the Alton-Grafton line, and the new service reduced the number of employees from four to a single person. The Dinky was basically a financial d...ecision during the Depression years. Only two persons in the audience at Farley's had seen the film before; thirteen people iik*.l {uD^fKHUliim iH'tnti'n : i%,in jfi, had ridden the Dinky many times. It was, we heard, a favorite method of travel for Principia College students, and some of these folk spoke of the ride as a good way to go on a "date." The next issue of Elsah History will feature the Dinky and CHS has plans to reproduce the film in some form, possibly adding still photographs and oral history interviews with folks who know the Dinky well, such as Nancy McDow, Dewey's daughter.
