No, We need to remember that these stations were temporary and moved
round to other locations from time to time when there was need of a
emporary depot. Archie

However,
If you look closely at the picture the station sign reads Bevier
which is in
Mo. Would that be considered West Quincy Mo. ? Tim

You're right on with that date, Pete. When the Kansas City Zephyr
and the
upgraded American Royal Zephyr were put in service in the fall of
1953 the old
station in Quincy was abandoned. The new trains stopped at what the
public tts
called "Quincy (West)". A few travelers were surprised when they
stepped off the
train, not at 2nd and Oak in Quincy, but somewhere in darkest
Missouri.
The car which served as the temporary depot at West Quincy was the
RIVERVIEW, a
classic heavywight solarium car. As I recall, one would step up to
the bar to
purchase a ticket. Seems there was a full length baggage car with
the RIVERVIEW
to serve as - what else? - the baggage room.
The new depot was completed in 1954. I believe it was lost in the
big flood of
1993 (?) - someone will have to verify this. PAW

I don't recall the date on this picture, but it was (before or
after...I t;hink
before) used as a temporary depot at West Quincy, MO while the new
station was
being built....I spent part of a night in this "depot" December
27-28 1953 after
arriving on Q No. 56 (A M Zephyr) and waiting on Zephyr Rocket
Southbound to
take me to St. Louis.

Found this shot of the jewel apparently being used either as a depot
or yard
office. Can anyone tell me more about the car?

I hate getting old... Over the years I have learned a lot of things,
but I
just can't remember much of it anymore.
