Larry Bunce, son of Ed Bunce--Milwaukee Road engineer. Kid memories of the travel on the 1950's Olympian Hiawatha from Milwaukee to LaCrosse are my highlight. Eating in the diner (Traveller china and silver), cab rides in the diesels (110MPH west of Portage) and the Skytop observation, are vivid.
I need help obtaining original Hiawatha dishes(Blue & gray in Bow/Arrow) and Tip-Top-Tap car, Dulany dishes(2-tone green rectangles). I also collect engineering drawings/vellums of structures, track and rolling stock. I will purchase these items.

My grandfather James Monrow Seeks (1871-1945) worked as a hostler in the roundhouse at Marion IA. Family tradition says he continued there until the facility was moved to Atkins, IA, but the history of Marion does not mention this. Would deeply appreciate some assistance as we are trying to reconstruct his work experience. |
