Re: [CBQ] Barriger Photos Photo IDs

Archie,
 
Thanks for offering your suggestions about the identity of "the post".
 
I am trying different things to see if I can either "zoom-in" as Bill 
suggested.   Or by using Photo Shop, crop the section of the image I have 
special interest in and enlarge it.  Neither works for me but that might be my 
woeful computer skills.  
 
I am not aware of the "P" type sign you mentioned but I still have a lifetime 
of CB&Q info to try to cram into my brain.  
 
As for DUS possibly meaning Dubuque Union Station I have my doubts.  The CB&Q,, 
IC and Milw Road all had their own depots on the Iowa side of the river.  So I 
will have to declare ignorance (what else is new?) about the DUS designation on 
the steam engine
 
Later,  Dave Sarther

Dave,  It is the shape of a speed zone post.  As I enlarged it the  
letter P and number 8 seemed to show up.  Possibly designating  
passenger trains not to exceed 8 mph.  Also the small steam engine on  
far right appears to have the letters DUS on the side of the cab.   
Possibly Dubuque Union Station.  Archie
