[CBQ] Montgomery Sheepyard Questions

["o_rrman" <mofferman@ameritech.net>]

A few topics relating :
Stockpen Layout:
I was wondering if anyone has a diagram showing how the loading docks, ramps, 
stockpens and alleys were laid out at Montgomery?  I have BB25 which shows 
general layout of the buildings but not the fencing. 

Chute tracks: 
Were there separate tracks for north/south chutes or one track with north and 
south leads to the yard? Did these tracks run to the west of the elevator? 

Current Tracks:
Finally, looking at bing maps birdseye views (http://www.bing.com/maps), are 
the current tracks running into the lumber treatment plant from the south and 
north the old Chute tracks?  The one from the South runs adjacent to the east 
side of the elevator so I'm guessing that it used to run into the old lean-to?  
If so, did it used to continue through the lean to the chutes or did it stop 
there?  In any case, could someone tell me whether the current tracks are 
remnants of old ones or do they post-date the sheepyard? 

Thanks for any help. Sorry for the number of questions but I figure it will 
give Steve or Leo something to do! :-)
