Chicago & Eastern Illinois Diesel Roster

-

 The Chicago & Eastern Illinois was acquired by the Missouri Pacific in May, 1967, after quietly buying C&EI stock since 1961.

The Interstate Commerce Commission imposed the condition that the eastern portion of the railroad, the Evansville line, would be sold to the Louisville & Nashville, which took place in 1969.

Once under Missouri Pacific control, a new MP-compatible numbering system was imposed, and the C&EI continued as a separate subsidiary until 1976.

Phelps Dodge Corporation Diesel Locomotive Roster

-
  Phelps Dodge Corporation was one of the largest copper producers in the United States, with operations in Ajo, Douglas, Bisbee, and Morenci, Arizona, and Hidalgo, New Mexico.  The company had extensive rail operations in the open-pit mines at the New Cornelia Branch, Morenci Mines, and Lavender Pit. It operated two fairly long rail lines, the Tucson, Cornelia & Gila Bend between Ajo and Gila Bend, Arizona, and later, from Separ to Hidalgo, New Mexico. The roster is very complex. Transfers in the early years were frequent. David F. Myrick took six volumes to document the railroads of Arizona and died before completing the work. P. Allen Copeland completed a masterful set of Arizona shortline and industrial rosters for volume three, and this work updates, corrects, and clarifies the multiple rosters for Phelps Dodge. Here's a link to the completed work, revised to March 13, 2022 at 6:40 a.m. MST
