Archie,
Attached is the track diagram of the East St. Louis yard dated 1959.
Since the Q was on trackage rights on GM&O/NYC the track
diagrams stop at Wood River.

List, I am looking for a map showing the yard lay out at E
St Louis. I recall entering the yard at Bridge Junction, Ill.
and there were 5 or 6 receiving tracks at that point that held
25 or 30 cars. The roundhouse was also in this area. A bit
further west was the yard office and another group of tracks we
called the outbound yard. At he far end of this yard was a
street that the tracks crossed called Front Street and there you
left the Q yard and entered the TRRA yard which I think we
called Wiggins. This area was only existent in the early part
of my career, so the details are foggy. After the removal of
the lock and dam at Alton in the 70s if I recall, the E St Louis
yard was closed. Thanks for any help, Archie
