Re: [CBQ] Tracks at Quincy

Bill, 

this doesn't really answer your question but there is an article in the 1898 "The Railway and Engineering Review"  that decribes the rebuilding the Quincy trackage when they built the loop. It also has a map showing the new trackage but not the area in question.

The Railway and Engineering Review Page 52

List,

I have a question(s) about the track layout at Quincy, Illinois.  Due to conditions of topography and the need to cross the Mississippi River the track arrangement was unusual.  I made a map showing the basic track layout based on a CB&Q Valuation Section Map from 1919.  This map is the only document that I have showing this area prior to the 1960's.  A copy is posted to the files section in a Folder titled "Quincy Tracks".

Best,
Bill Saenger
