Re: [CBQ] Barstow IL

[archie hayden <kliner@mywdo.com>]

Just a possibility it was named for a high ranking officer on the CB&Q  
by the name of William Barstow Strong who was working for the Q around  
1876.  He later became president of the Santa Fe in 1881.  The city of  
Barstow, Ca was named for him also.  Archie
