Glen,

I FINALLY have an answer to your question regarding the signal 
bridge's picture which is listed as being in Galesburg Illinois. After 
talking with a few folks from town during RR Days, it appears that it 
may be the one STILL located along the "entrance" to the quincy main. 
I was at a loss to explain the turnout near along the left of the 
picture. I was informed that at one time the Q had a couple spurs to 
two coal dealeres in this area (present location of People's hardware 
area). Perhaps this turnout was a spur to one of these two coal 
dealers? There is a set of tracks still located in the pavement near 
here along East Knox street. We believe that the train may be #47 from 
Peoria.

Hope you recieve this message!

Please email me off list.
