Jan,
The signal bridge you are looking at is the Eastbound Control
Signal at Fairview Avenue. The wrecker is working from the
West end. In the first views looking down along the track
towards the wrecker the Main St Depot and platforms and
the next signal bridge are in the haze.
Track leading off to the left just before the signal bridge, looking
East, went down that bank and did not straighten out and get back
into alignment with the Mains until it got to the industries at ground
level.

Ok, new photos are posted at http://www.castlegraphics.com
I did find out where the derailment was, there was one photo with the
information on the back. However, I'm
sure some of you would rather guess, so I won't tell you right away and give
you a shot! :) If you want to
find out if you are right, right-click on the photo (any one) and select
"properties". The photo name has
the location and year.
Incidentally, you also get another treat...I found several photos that were
fairly closely spaced and were
able to compile them into the panoramic shot of the wreckage seen at the bottom
of the page...
More stuff later, including The "Q" Montgomery, IL tower, abandoned in 1969,
interior and exterior views...
Cheers!
Jan

Got some pretty amazing things in today...in my second installment of photos
purchased from Bud Laws
(great guy), I have a whole series of a CBQ derailment...location and year
unknown, I'm hoping some of you
mature railroaders will know the answers.. :)
John B. sent me all the sheets for the CB&Q waltz awhile back, and I attempted
to clean them up but
couldn't get them to where an OCR would read them. However, I finally found all
the sheets again and sent
them to my brother last night, he sat down all day today and transcribed them
to his music program, which
then compiled the piano and strings version of the waltz! Give a few thanks to
my brother, he's out of a
job right now and I appreciate him taking the time to do this for us. It will
be playing in the background
when you are looking at the new-old pics! :) I hope you don't mind, John B., if
so, please let me
know...at any rate, possibly be the first time anyone has heard this in
what...50 years or more?
I'll email the list again when I get them all posted...
Cheers!
