Hi list!
I could use some help this time: What kind of coaling facility could be
found in STERLING, COLORADO in the steam era (1940s)? I found that little
prarie city a very rewarding subject to model and am now collecting all the
information. No problem to do that with that excellent book of Sterling
which most of you might know very well, but there is just no photo of the
Burlington coal dock in it. Just the old wooden trestle on page 55 and its
location on one of these useful maps. But what replaced it someday? Or was
it replaced at all - most of the locos in later years burned oil...
Thank you very much for your replies, gentelmen.
Regards, Florian Griessenboeck
