Re: [CBQ] Lowrie, Missouri

Phil,  Griffeth is 2 miles south of LaGrange.  The spur turned out toward the gravel pits about the middle of the siding.  It was very dark shoving a waycar on the point of 75 empties out to the pit around midnight.

Hello Ken -
On the track chart, what is the MP for La Grange?  Is Griffith north or south of La Grange?
The gravel pits that show on the DeLorme map are 'roughly' six miles north of the highway location of West Quincy and a couple of miles
south of La Grange..
If West Quincy is MP 137.5 then 'roughly' six miles would get us to MP 143.
If you guys had brought all these questions up sixty years ago I would have taken better notes and maybe a few more photos.     PAW

I have the track charts that were sold on CD, The page with Lowrie is dated 2/28/67. Lowrie was between MP 141.86 and 143.02 but there is no siding and the name is crossed out. 

The gravel pit Philip Weibler mentioned is at MP 148.4 and is named Griffith.

Duncan,

A 1962 track chart shows it is just a siding within the West Quincy yard limits.
