Hol - THANKS for the clarification. I will correct my image caption. Still an outstanding image of a Q branch line train. Best Regards - Louis

Louis and group:
 
This view, when it was listed on eBay, was captioned as being at Red Oak, but Red Oak did not have a coal chute and the view is actually to the south at Clarinda, where the 1223 was working the former Humeston & Shenandoah.

Kirby - To give you some idea as to what a "typical" Q branch line train would've looked like prior to World War Two, I've attached one of my favorite archived digital images identified as 2-6-0 type No. 1223 taking coal at Red Oak, IA, in 1938. Bringing up the rear end is one of the Q's unique combination passenger coach/way cars equipped with a cupola. Not sure of what branch line No. 1223 was operating on out of Red Oak that day. Perhaps, other Group members will have similar images showing branch line trains. Good luck with your modeling. Best Regards - Louis

Guys:

All of this is helping a lot. What would have been the motive power used by the Q on branches like the St. Frances? What would the single deck and double deck (hog) stock cars look like? What was the difference between a standard caboose and a stockman's caboose?

My interest in this comes from being a fan of Ralph Moody's books, especially " The Dry Divide" and "A Horse Of A Different Color". Both books are set around Cedar Bluffs, KS and the area between Oberlin, KS and McCook, NB. The books are a combination of factual and fact based fiction. They provide a great look at life in Northwest Kansas in the period immediately after WW I. Some of what Moody wrote about had to be fictionalized because the people involved were still alive. The old saw about the names have been changed to protect the innocent (or guilty) applied.

In the second book part of the story is about a flash flood that wipes out part of the branch line and it has to be rebuilt (1920-21-22-23?).
