[CBQ] CB&Q Set of the Barriger Collection

[jeralbin@aol.com]

List: The Barriger Library has now scanned 409 photos of the CB&Q  on 
Flickr. Prior lists only showed a small number, this may be the complete set  
now. http://flic.kr/s/aHsjRv9kDa For us  Illinois lads the following may be of 
special interest. In no particular order:  #74 shows the west end of Clyde 
on center track going west. Moline coal is on  the right at La Vergne. It 
also looks like they are re-ballasting the main  line. #77 shows a shoo-fly 
around bridge construction at "I  THINK", west of Naperville at the Du Page 
river. #150 shows vertical  "telltails" just before a steel bridge. I've never 
seen that before. #424 shows  the Oregon Station in like new condition. #362 
shows a very busy Galesburg  station and many, many more!.  
 You can save the photos to a picture file by left clicking a photo.  Then 
left click to bring up a size box. Click large. Then right click to save  
the photo in your picture file. These photos are for  home use/study ONLY. 
Many of the photos will have to be flipped horizontally and/or  vertically 
with an image editor because they were scanned wrong. You  most likely will 
also have the adjust the contrast and shadows to see the  details.
For those of you that don't have an image editor, the following link  to a 
free home use editor and viewer and is excellent.

keep old guys 
busy...Regards..Jerry Albin, Homer  Glen, IL
