Re: [CBQ] End of Branchline - How did they turn the engine?

[Nelson Moyer <ku0a@mchsi.com>]

The Washington, IA branch line, originally the Burlington & Northwestern from 
Burlington to Washington, had a wye in Washington, and one leg of the wye 
connected with the RI as an interchange track. Milwaukee cars could be 
interchanged there via the RI.
