Hol,

Here are a couple shots of the Ferry yards from about the mid to late 1970’s.  the first one is taken from atop the signal looking south.  The Ferry telegraph office is center, The CNW line is to the left and the Q yards to the right.  The second photo is looking south with motors on the old Boiler house track.  The 3^rd photo is the original Ferry telegraph office probably from the late 40’s early 50’s era.  This is really all I have for photos.

Here's what I found on Ferry and South Sioux City, corrected to 12-31-1967.  Sorry some of the writing is all but illegible; my copy is at least a third generation one and this scan adds another generation.  Best I can do.

Hol,

Thank you very much!  This is just what I’m looking for.  Where do you find this kind of info?  Is there a diagram for the water tower and sand tower as well?  Do you know if there is a Yard map with all trackage?

 

In reference to the coal tower,  There would be a track under the coal chute and a track on the backside for dropping coal?

 

Thanks much,

 

Scott

Sorry, I was out of town when your request appeared and it took me awhile to scan and clean up the diagram of the Ferry coal chute upon my return, but here it is.  Hope it helps.

Does anyone know where I can find data (photos, drawings, details) on the coaling tower, water tank and sand tower for the Yards at Ferry Nebraska?  I have tried to locate photos without success so I'm looking to the group for help.  I have 1  photo that I posted here of an inspection car on the turntable which shows the coaling tower but it is very distant.
