Sounds Great!  Just wish it were closer but perhaps we can have an Annual Meet 
some yr in Cody, Billings, etc to explore the Lines West (& have this program 
repeated as a Clinic)

 

Tks for sharing!  Gerald

Subject: [CBQ] Reminder

  



I am posting a reminder of the program that is going to be presented February 
20 at Hardin, Montana about the Toluca to Cody CB&Q branch line. Below is the 
information I posted earlier. 

Subject: [CBQ] Toluca, Montana to Cody, Wyoming Branch Line

On February 20, 2010 at 2:00, at the Hardin, Montana museum, 
there will be a program presented by Rex Myers on the history of 
CB&Q's Toluca, Montana to Cody, Wyoming branch line. 

Rex Myers teaches history and geography at Northwest College, 
located at Powell, Wyoming which is on this branch line.

Also, on February 20, Dick Chapple of Hardin, Montana will host 
an open house from 10:00 to 1:00 and again from 4:00 to 6:00. 
Dick has a large indoor G scale layout and a 7 inch large scale 
outdoor layout. His address is 624 N. Choteau Avenue. You can 
contact Dick at 2chapple@q.com.

The Hardin museum has a very nice railroad memorabilia display. 
Including the wooden CB&Q depot from Lodge Grass, Montana, which 
had been restored. See link to photograph of depot. Inside the 
depot is a American Flyer S gauge layout build in the 1950's. 
Outside, on display track, is a wooden bay window caboose (way 
car), stock car, and a wooden coach car, It would be interesting 
to determine the origin of the wooden coach car.

In downtown Hardin, Montana is a brick CB&Q depot that use to 
serve Hardin. It is now the Hardin Chamber of Commerce. Next to 
the depot is a Northern Pacific baggage car that was used on 
Montana Territorial Centennial train which was sent to New York's 
world fair in 1964-65. New murals where painted and add to the 
car in 2007, similar to the ones used on the car for the Centen-
nial train. The car is also painted in the colors used on the 
Centennial train. At the Hardin depot you can watch BNSF coal 
trains charge through. See link for picture of depot.

Forty miles from Hardin is Billings, Montana where the Northern 
Pacific depot, built in 1909, has been fully restored. CB&Q 
passenger trains to Wyoming used this depot into the 1960's. 

Ten miles farther west is Laural, Montana, home of Montana Rail 
Link rail yard, largest rail yard between St. Paul, Minnesota and 
Pasco, Washington. Great train watching.

I hope some of you from the group will consider coming to Hardin, 
especially those of you from Montana and Wyoming. This would be 
a great opportunity for those on the eastern end of the CB&Q to 
see the far Northwestern end of the CB&Q.

David
