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.

Subject: [CBQ] Re: Purington Pavers
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,
