Beardstown was still up the last trip I made thru there as well as the
roundhouse
Mendota, Galesburg, Burlington and Ottumwa were all "Castle Style" Depots
subject of a research project for the Bulletin
After the fire at BN that might have lead to the remodel of Ottumwa to get rid
of excess space and fire problem.
With the photos at the Newberry the Post War Depot Projects might be a good
article as well. "Zephyr Depots"??

Subject: [CBQ] Re: LaCrosse Depot in new Classic Trains
Hi Jerry:
Thanks for the heads-up on the LaCrosse article in Classic Tains. I picked up
a
copy and enjoyed it and the article on Copley Park & CB&Q #4000.
The articles stated that the Q also had the flag stone depots in Burlington,
Ottumwa, West Quincy, Rockford, & Beardstown.
I have visited the Burlington & Ottumwas depots and they are appealing &
attractive structures, both with CB&Q Hudosn locomotives. My understanding is
that the Ottumwas depot was originally a big Victorian structure that was
remodeled in the flag stone architecture. Am I remembering correctly?
I grew up 30 miles east of Quincy. I remember in 1973 on a shopping trip to
Quincy (& after the flood waters had subsided), my parrents drove across the
bridge into West Quincy to see the flood damage, including the depot.
I have never seen the Rockford depot and do not recall seing any photos of it.
I probably saw the Beardstown depot while growing up since Beardstown was about
10 miles from us and we passed through a few times a year. However, I have no
direct memories of it. The "CB&Q In Color Vol 4" book has a photo of it in
which it appears to me to be a red brick structure. Di Beardstown actually
have
flag stone depot as stated in the Classic Trains article ?
