All,
Norm is totally correct as I too searched the company corporate history finding
the name of Big Horn Southern, why that name I will never understand as the
southern end of the Big Horns is in Wyoming at the CB&Q stations of Powder
River, Lysite, and Bonneville. I chose my fictional HOn3 railroad into the
southern Big Horns and Owl Creek mountains name from the Big Horn Southern with
the logo as the Rio Grande Southern but inserting Big Horn where the Rio Grande
is. My point, one can learn very much from the corporate records. CB&Q
generally had their construction companys name the railroad they were building
a different name than CB&Q and after the portion was finished it was absorbed
into the Q. My theory is that if it was not finished the Q would not have a
failure on the record of their corporate history, but maybe some of you know
different.
