Some where around here I have at least five different designs of Purington 
Bricks.  Most roads had one or more brick yards on line and would use bricks 
from that shipper either for a cut rate price or salvage from loads.  I 
remember walking the platform at Pacific Jct when there was still an operator 
there who ran the CTC Red Oak to P Jct and there was a different brand in that 
platform.  I could not figure how to get a brick back home as I was on a road 
trip(It's h***  when you can get paid to railfan)and only had a grip. Climbing 
on and off locomotives with one in ones grip would be hard.  The CNW at DeKalb 
was Boone Brick and Tile.  M&StL used Oskaloosa.  I must have at least a dozen 
different company bricks.  It is just a little heavier then collecting stamps 
or timetables.

  Does anyone have the dimensions of a Purington Paver?  And even better, a
  good shot of the herringbone pattern used on Q station platforms?
  Was there a standard width for the typical between-the-tracks platform?
  Most, if not all, had timber edging... do any drawings exist for these
  standards?
  Thanks,
