Galena Jct was a CB&N standard which Q Connection may produce a HO kit for.
The former branch from Jct to Galena is now a hiking trail with some nice old
photos and data @ a kiosk at Jct (depot was just a couple hundred yards south
of where IC/CN diverts eastward up north bank of Galena River to Galena & on to
Chicago while CB&Q/BN continues southward to Savanna & then east to Chicago.
Last Agt @ Jct was a guest at Dubuque Annual Meet; he's the one who placed
antlers on one end of the depot (don't recall if anyone mfgs scale antlers -
perhaps decapitate a full deer figure and paint a bleached white?)

Subject: [CBQ] Galena Jct. Depot Photos
Can anyone please steer me to photos of the old Galena Jct. depot? The only
photo I have found is in Spoor Vol. 2 page 79. That photo provides basically a
south elevation. I would be interested to locate photos showing the front
(west) and rear (east) sides especially.
Also, and perhaps curiously, the Galena depot is not included specifically in
the info that Tim Fleck provided on the "Depot Drawing CD's" he made available
last year. That material included alphabetical listings of depots, but Galena
Jct. was not included in the list. I wonder why that would be? Also, I wonder
if Galena Jct followed a "standard" design or floor plan, and where I would be
likely to find one?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Paul
