Thanks for this info. Very interesting, I know I've seen the hulks of ships on
the coast of Washington state that were burned to the water line so they could
get the scrap. Did they ever have any mishaps from these burns, like an
accidental grass fire.

Subject: [CBQ] bad order trk at Montgomery
Ok nobody wants to even guess; or maybe you all know and I'm wasting my time
!!??
The b/o trk at Montgomery was the southern most or closest to the "old North
main:" This trk was used for some years to collect wooden cars destined for
retirement. When enough had accumulated and things were slow they would be
set on fire. When the flames were out and the remains cooled the metal was
collected for scrap sale and the ashes pushed toward the "old North main" If
you
dont believe me talk to old heads,well visit their tombstones. Another option
is to talk to Kendall countys retired state representative who lives along
rte 34 east of Yorkville. You'll know the place by the Q wooden w/c that was
rescued from the b/o trk at Montgomery. Yes he's an ex Q employee too.
