Re: [CBQ] Barriger Photos Photo IDs

I agree Tom....I well remember seeing St. Joe Fuel Oil signs and trucks on my 
many trips to St. Joe in the     40's and  50's...I think they also did "Road 
Oiling" ...remember that..happened every summer in small towns and rural areas..

CGW 446 appears to be in St. Joseph, as 6th St. Is visible with Union Depot in 
the distance.  And the St.  Joseph Fuel Oil Co. sign.  The company is still at 
that same location today.

        Pete,
    
    That would be great. I lived there for six years in the 60's and had    my 
first ride on a passenger train from St Joe to Omaha.

 Pete,
                        
                        I have a friend that is a now retired engineer          
              from UP that ran on the old CGW line through St                   
     Joe. He said it was always a challenge to get                        
through there.

 Thanks Bill ...I'm very                          familiar with St. Joe and the 
CGW operation                          through there...Talk about               
           "convoluted"....It's a wonder they ever got a                        
  train though St. Joe in one piece and in any                          kind of 
expedicious handling.                          

                          
                          
I'll check these out.
