RE: [CBQ] Carrollton branch line (again)

[GLEN HAUG <glenehaug@msn.com>]

The original maps show a connection to the AT&SF but I don't know if it was an official interchange.  The Carrollton depot was at MP 220.66, but the end of the Q main track and division of ownership was at MP 220.94.  The AT&SF owned 419' more of a connecting track to an AT&SF siding.  Also the turntable was mentioned in a previous post.  There was a 60' turntable on a stub track on the west side of the house track, northwest of the depot, opposite mainline MP 220.53.  The connection to AT&SF must have been removed sometime prior to the mid 60's because there is no track shown beyond MP 220.94 in the alignment chart dated 4-8-65.

I have no knowledge whether there was ever an interchange between the Q and the Wabash or AT & SF at Carrollton. 

 

 

Smokyjoe,

 

There was no interchange with the Wabash at Carrollton.  It would have been physically possible to have one with the ATSF; but I do not know if a connection existed.
