[CBQ] CB&Q Covered Platforms

[jameskoretsky@comcast.net]

Hi All,

I'd like to thank all those that helped answer my questions on the Aurora, IL 
depot. I'm moving forward with plans to construct a module set of the depot 
located here. I've done the design work, and I'm working on some of the details 
now.

I do have a couple of follow-up questions that I'm hoping others can help me 
with pertaining to the following photograph:

Can anyone tell me if all of CB&Q's covered platforms were the same (a common 
design) and used where necessary at different stations / depots across the 
system? If not, was the one that used to be located at Aurora used anywhere 
else and if so which? 

Does anyone know of a drawing for these (the pillars and the roof) or have the 
dimensions for these and how far apart they were spaced? Are there any CB&Q 
stations / depots where the covered platforms are still standing where one 
could measure these?

Any and all help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Best Regards

James Koretsky
