Front Cover of Issue 67 - 2007

The operation of the East St. Louis Relay Depot is a mystery for many. This issue defines the management of the Relay Depot and details the daily operations.

Included is the GM&O's Gulf Coast Rebel and its daily dance around the facility. Plans for the never-built replacement Relay, maps, foldouts, Trendley Avenue, and a photo history of C&A and GM&O Pullmans that travelled to St. Louis from Montgomery, Mobile, Kansas City, Chicago, and Michigan are also included in 150 breathtaking pages.
