Rob,
>From my research, I believe that Keokuk actually had two carbide plants. My
Sanborn maps put National Carbide on the river front with the CB&Q main
behind it. It would be south of the Hubinger comples, but north of Keokuk
Electrometals and Keokuk Steel Casting. Midwest Carbide I have on the Mooar
line which, as has been noted, was a long spur on the top of the river
bluffs that was a truncated branchline that used to run up to the the
Burlington-Creston mainline. I am building Keokuk in my basement and, if it
were possible, a copy of that picture would help me immensely as I'm just
laying the track in the area of the National Carbide plant. Any chance you
could scan it and e-mail it to me?
