Re: [CBQ] Cinders

Back in the 60s I remember all the alleys in Beardstown and some of the 
driveways were cinders.

      Anybody know how the Q handled all the cinders generated by the 
locomotives 

 ? In the late 60's/early 70's on the Chgo and Aurora div they were track 

ballast  on the east end of both yards at Eola, the west end of Savanna 

yd.,many  sidings,etc.  They drained well,held the ties and were easy to walk  
on.

In the 70s if ballast was needed ,a car of gravel or granite was ordered.  

But up until the mid 50s every Rdhse was generating a steady supply of 

cinders.  Any idea how they were distributed, allocated, etc ?

 

Eola had the slag hole trks for the steel mill slag but where were the  

cinders accumulated ?
