[CBQ] Re: operational question

["Douglas Harding" <doug.harding@iowacentralrr.org>]

Duncan, Ted Schnepf of Rails Unlimited has reproduced several Railroad
Shipper Guides,  also known as Industry Guides. A look at his website will
give you an idea an idea of what to look for and an idea of the various
titles used. http://railsunlimited.ribbonrail.com/Books/shippers.html 

I don't believe Ted has ever done a CB&Q directory. There are also various
websites that have variations of railroad industry lists. I know the CB&Q
published these valuable books. And Rob Adams references one for his website
on the Keokuk and Western website
http://keokukandwesternrr.com/facilities.htm 

 

So keep looking. I have scans of several for the M&StL, and refer to them
often. 

 

You might also look for a Shippers Guide for the other railroads in Keokuk
as the guide would indicate if reciprocal switching was in place and where.
