I have the new Quincy Branch book by Bud Linroth but I haven't had a chance to go through it yet. I wonder if your answer is found in it?

Hello Erik and All –

Did anyone researching this line find any reference to BAY VIEW, Illinois?

In 1953 I took a photo of the local freight just north of the Quincy yard,

passing a station sign (not a depot) that said BAY VIEW.  It was done in

the typical Q font, white lettering on a black board.  A wooden paddle

was on a pivot on the post nearest the track, perhaps to signal a flagstop.

 

I have not been able to find BAY VIEW in the ETTs or Official Guides and

apparently it has not been found on any track charts.

 

Any thoughts?????        PAW

A local family built a nice cabin across a creek near Ursa using the concrete abutments of the CB&Q bridge
