[CBQ] East End Job

[qutlx1@aol.com]

Larry,
 
On the Q there was not an east end job. There was a job  affectionately 
called the east end wayfreight. It ran from Eola to Congress Park  and return. 
Back in the day of coal yards and Kroehlers it was a big OT job. See  an old 
BRHS calendar for the east end crew sitting in front of their engine  
waiting to go west out of Kroehlers. The track they are on is a remnant of the  
short lived 4th main.
 
As time went on and the coal business went away the East  became a "quit" 
job. 
 
Depending on the decades your studying there were either  one or two 
"Congos" that operated between Clyde 'D' Yard and Congress Park.  These jobs 
primary purpose was to bring the IHB transfers into Clyde from  Congress Park. 
This job received sizeable arbs for going west of Stone  Ave,but that's a 
seperate story.
 
The BNSF has a east end job that operates fom Eola to Clearing  yard on the 
belt,as I understand,and return. It's main purpose is to bring the  "dead 
frt" to Eola.
