| Both E7s assigned to Ft. Smith for maintenance are leading train #710 on 8/8/60. One of the E7s will return to Ft. Smith in the morning while the second E7 will lead the Wtchita train west from Monet. At the time a single E7 would leave Ft. Smith one night with train #710 and continue to Wichita. The engine would then return through Monet to Ft. Smith before starting the trip again. |
