[CBQ] Re: Question on Galesburg

["Rory Murchison" <murchi209@yahoo.com>]

No is the short answer.

If you have the Burlington Route Color Pictorial Vol 2 by Al Holck, check out 
page 118. You see the wye that heads to Peoria. The other branch of the wye is 
just out of the pic to the right.

In the photo section there is a map of Galesburg yard that Russ posted, and I 
agree it does look like the track goes under or over the peoria branch. I just 
don't remember that at all. I am pretty sure it was level.

There was a bridge that lead into the yard parking/roundhouse area. Was there 
many a times applying for jobs years ago after high school.
