Excellent point as to location of the derail Bud.  I have CB&Q standards for 
derails as to the minimum distance from the fouling point but no mention of a 
maximum distance.  I assume there were special situations (whether cars would 
roll to or from the turnout, adjacent structures & tracks, etc) that would case 
a derail to be installed 5 car lengths from a fouling post as the TP&W did.  
Any thoughts on this?  Of the derail on former Q tracks I can visualize, all 
were relatively close to turnouts.  I imagine too the standard changed over the 
decades as cars got longer with more overhang.

Hello Bob I worked Peoria Yard for about 1 year in the early 1980's and I was 
the Union Local Chairman for Peoria Yard from 1979-1989. The BN crews (and Q 
crews before them) had agreements with the TP&W. P&PU and Rock Island that each 
road would deliver their own cars to the other road. The designated set out for 
the TP&W was at their yard in East Peoria. We would take the P&PU cars with us 
and set them out on the wye yard on the North side of the River bridge they 
called it the "90" yard. We then went across the river and delivered to the 
TP&W at their yard at East Peoria.

I remember the TP&W Yard because you had to line the switch back for the Main 
after pulling your cut in but when you threw the switch it put a derail back on 
about 5 car lengths further in on the track. Many a new Peoria switchman had a 
car on the ground when they were not paying attention on where the derail was. 
I hope this helps 

R. W. "Bud" Linroth

I understand that the Q interchanged directly with the TP&W at Peoria, 
especially perishable traffic to be expedited eastward. Since the TP&W had 
trackage rights on the Q to get through Peoria, and operated through the Q's 
Peoria yard daily, would the TP&W have picked up the perishables at the Q yard 
on its way to and from or would the labor agreements require the Q to deliver 
the cars to the TP&W (at East Peoria)?
