The Purington is the brand of brick pavers used on most, if not
all,Burlington brick station platforms.
I have documented Humboldt, Nebraska labeled bricks at multiple
former Burlington platform locations in northern Kansas (Haddam,
Morrowville, Concordia, Washington) and southern Nebraska (Diller,
Odell, Hubbell). Were Humboldt bricks used instead of Purington
bricks at these locations because of geography, or because they were
originally on Burlington & Missouri in Nebraska trackage? These
small-town depots/platforms likely saw little updating over the years
so I suppose that too could be a factor. Thanks for the interesting
discussion.
Todd,
I have a brick from the Washington, KS (my hometown) CB&Q Depot and
it states "Humboldt, Nebraska" on the top. I helped save that depot a
number of years back, but it ended up as a school storage building in
the end with school mascot crap in the windows. And they recently put
a metal building on the side now. Not sense of history, I think.
Thanks, Duane Koss/Blue Spgs,MO/BRHS
