Auto Railroad Overland         
Once the mail and van trains passed, the westbound afternoon fleet also included the ARRO, a consist of auto parts and set-up autos for GM in Warm Springs, CA. The train ran as Rock Island No.57 from Chicago to Council Bluffs and as SP symbol UPWSA from Ogden, with connections off CR, GTW, C&O and B&O at Chicago. On its heels would be the California Livestock. Here the ARRO is arriving at Cheyenne after a quick trip from North Platte.
