[CBQ] Westbound Sheep-crooked tracks

[qutlx1@aol.com]

As to the question on the curves in the sheep yard tracks at the west end:  
my best guess is it's related to where the "lead" coming over Webster St. from  
the west  drops down from the post "elevation" grade to the original grade.  
In order to make the transition from old to new levels a bend to the North was 
 necessary to keep the grade down. 
 
Just as FYI: From the double mainline Northward(timetable direction  based) 
here were the track names at the sheep yd:
 
Old North Main
B/O- any body know why? It's in the history of that track.What happened to  
the b/os placed on this track ?
Middle
????????( I cant remember)
elevator
North/South Chutes.
