Re: [CBQ] FW: KC&O removal north of Fairmont

[Jpslhedgpeth@aol.com]

Thanks Glen

On a recent trip through Fairmont I made use of an old engineering department 
station plat which shows the straight through line on the east side of Fairmont 
removed IIRC..don't have the paper in front of me  in 1917.  

KC&O trains would have had to pull around one leg of the wye, then back into 
the Fairmont depot...then cross over the Q someplace and head north to McCool.

Pete and others:

A short portion of the original KC&O at Fairmont that crossed the Q mainline 
(about 1,100 of straight track running north and south between the wyes) was 
removed in 1905. The track between McCool Jct and Fairmont was removed in 1932, 
between MP 0.72 south of McCool Jct and MP 7.91 at Fairmont, AFE 30477.
