Re: [CBQ] Barriger Photos Photo IDs,,,,CGW at St. Joe MO

You are correct "Bill...The "new" CGW depot was just NE of where St. Joe Avenue 
crossed...near Goetz Brewery..It was a long brick building..It stood in place 
until fairly recently...I was by there just a couple of weeks ago and it 
appears to be gone now..It was getting dark and I was in ahurry so didn't get a 
good look.


BTW do you remember that the CGW had a long incline track up the hill olong 4th 
St. just south of the crossing...Running up to IIRC  an Imperial Oil 
distribution center...If a car ever got away there it would have rolled almost 
to Savannah.  



I think you are right about all the CGW photos in St. Joe..So much has changed 
that it's next to impossible to figure out where you are even when you are 
there.  


When the Q built their new depot further down 6th St. in 59...My grandfather 
called it  "That new Switch Shanty they put up down there on 6th St".  It stood 
until just a very few years ago and was in deplorable condition before it was 
demolished.


I think I saw more locations I could ID on the CGW list than on the CB&Q list.

        Pete,
    
    I think this change was made when Union Depot was torn down and the    new 
Q depot was put into service. The CGW also built there own small    depot which 
is not what the city fathers had in mind when they    wanted Union Depot 
replaced.

This is helpful for time after 1959 when the line was CTC'd          from St. 
Joe to Napier.  I took all my info from ETT No. 66           Sept 24th 1950.
