Ken - If you look closely, there's a slope back tender belonging to a Class
G 0-6-0 sticking out from behind the depot. So, in that era, the Q had a
dedicated switcher assigned to Galena Junction. The gondola further back may
have been the locomotive's source for coal. Best Regards - Louis

There is a great Lou Schmitz photo of the Galena
Junction in Spoor V 2, p.79. I am searching for photos and some
additional knowledge of this depot. Was there a baggage room at the
end opposite of the Schmitz photo vantage point, behi nd the operators
window? What year was the depot razed? Did it last past the
merger? Does anyone have a plan or drawing of this depot? There
was a fan trip over that section of the CB&Q on May 20, 1961 behind O-1A
#4690. Maybe someone on that trip may have a recollection of the depot
or better yet a few photos of other elevations of the depot. I'd like
to build a model if I can collect enough data to do a reasonable scale
representation.
Thanks,
