You're right; that does appear to be a hill line, visible both in front of and behind 7020.  And in Denver the South Platte River would be in that area, so it's not Denver or Lincoln -- or Galesburg either.  I don't know if the Dayton's Bluff engine facilities has one of these conveyors, but the B-!-A's were used a lot on the Twin Cities line, too, and a hill would be visible there.

Hol - Many thanks!  Looking at the faint background, does that look like a hill line to you? The Lincoln engine terminal as I recall was built on flat terrain. Would a hill line be visible from the Denver engine terminal? What do you think. All this will help in identifying the other "gantry" images. Best Regards - Louis

Denver, Galesburg and Creston, that I know of, also used this style of cinder gantry.  Since it's the 7020, my bet is Denver or Lincoln; not enough background to be sure.

Hol and Group - Where was this undated image taken of Class B-1-A 7020? 

 

 

I "think" it's Lincoln from the traveling gantry crane used to clean the ash pits looming over the 4-8-2. Was Lincoln the only Q engine terminal set-up with such a gantry?  I have a number of unidentified engine terminal images all showing the above gantry crane (or one like it if more than one terminal was so equipped). Would appreciate your comments and thoughts on this subject. Best Regards - Louis
