I have written myself a note to look for this information the next time I am at the Newberry Library.  The CB&Q documents are technically closed for archiving, but they will usually let me look at the timetables if I let them know in advance that I am coming.

Subject: [CBQ] Belmont facilities

 

Following on from the recent postings about the possibility of a wye or turntable at Belmont, Nebraska (and ignoring all my opinions on the subject) I’ve received a 1911 Alliance & Edgemont employee time table no. 120 which clearly shows that there was a wye or turntable at Belmont. I still don’t think that a wye was possible given the terrain but I think I have identified the spot where there could have been a turntable.

The next questions are when was it installed and when was it removed.  If anyone has an ETT for the end of the 19th century (1890 onwards) or early part of the 20th century, can you check what is shown for Belmont.

Thanks vey much.
