Hi Nelson, In response to several members earlier inquiries, I discussed the interest in Burlington's sand house and coal pocket with Bud when doing the Quincy book layout. Bud agreed to include the coal pocket/sand house images to address interest. With the sand tower now located at the depot for reference, actual dimensions can be checked if that helps move this project along. We might wait for a little warmer day.... When you get these structure plans drawn up, would you post them on the list? Thanks in advance for sharing.

Particularly fortuitous for me was the photo of the sand drying house in Burlington. I had seen the brick structure in a photo shared by Dave Lotz, but it was taken in the 1970s after the sand hopper had been removed. Now I have enough information to draw plans and model the sand drying house as it was in the early 1950s. ...Nelson Moyer __._,_.___ Posted by: milepost206@mchsi.com __,_._,___ |
