RE: [CBQ] Repacking Locations

But the list I ran in one of the BN Annuals was from the BN era and was not representative of the symbols the Q used pre-merger.  Sorry.  I've never run across a listing of Q abbreviations.

Sheridan, WY comes to mind as well. That was a big RIP track. Also, Beardstown repacked cars. Hol had a list of mechanical symbols in one of his motive power books.

It would be my opinion that they are far more repack locations,as any RIP track of any modest size would be equipped to repack.

Eola, Savanna, La Crosse, Cicero, come immediately to mind.

I looked at the system map for the missing packing locations, and I propose Frannie, WY for FRN and Dubuque, IA for DB. Are there other plausible locations. I’m stumped on SE unless it’s Seneca, NE. Anybody else wish to hazard a guess, or better yet, have the definitive answer?

Great Northern had a series of "codes" (or abbreviations) th at it used to indicate locations where truck journals had been repacked. Did Burlington have something similar, and if so does anyone have a "decoder list?"

 

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
