Hol - The same image appears on page 56 of Burlington Route Steam Finale by Lloyd Stagner. The image is identified as having been taken at Creston, IA, in January 1955. The image is credited to W.S. Kuba. There is a second image of 6317 on page 8 also by W.S. Kuba and identified as being at Creston.

 

Of course, the both images are misidentified as to location as the Creston coal chute was constructed of concrete, not wood, as I recall. Personally, I think both images were taken at Ottumwa, IA, as I have another image of 6317 identified as having been taken Ottumwa in January 1955. I've attached that image. 

 

Dad was Ottumwa Division Supt. in the early 1960s and I remember the wood coal chute and roundhouse there. Sure looks like Ottumwa to me. I remember Dad was concerned about the chute's structural integrity and wanted it torn down as pieces were beginning to fall off of it. Best Regards - Louis

That's the Beardstown coal chute, moved to Illinois from Kansas City in 1943.

Hi All,

 

Attached is an image that was shared by Leanne Edna Anderson on Facebook this week from the Michael Lemberger collection that is not identified as to its location.  Any ideas?
