Leo - I do not have a copy of the book. Scan the page with the image you're
talking about and may be I can help you identify the correct location. Best

Where
did the Sept 1960 steam excursion operate ? Here's why I ask.
On pg 42
of the new Q Facilities book is a photo reported to be one of the Eola coaling
towers.
I don't think this is correct based on my first hand
experience at Eola rdhse(see Zephyr 65) it is not the one near the rdhse.
I
base that on the curvature of the track behind the tower,the paint and the
ballast. Also I doubt anyone would bring a passenger train into the west yard
and up to the house.
If this photo is of the one at Eola proper,at the
east end of the yard,next to the main. Which is confirmed by the line drawing
on the page,also an earlier issue of the same line drawing in my
collection,and as well as info. supplied to me by "Bones" Mathers (Q Eola
switchman) talking about spotting cars at the main line chute. Then I am
troubled by the fact,that even using magnification, I can't see,the E.J.&
E. And the signal bridge is clearly for two trks. Not three.
The
curvature of the trk. behind the chute leads to me think this a wye or a
branch line.
It is not Rochelle as I checked the photo in Spoors
first book of the Rochelle coal chute.
That eliminates the C&I. Leaving
the mainline.
Can any one say where the photo was taken ?
