Re: [CBQ] What Roundhouse is This?

Hello,

My first CNW thought was Fulton, IL. along the Mississippi.  Too
young to have seen that RH.  Maybe look at the reporting marks of
the cars closest to the camera.

I have to agree that it's really questionable if this is actually a Q facility at all.  The boxcar and steel gon beside the powerhouse are neither one quite right for Q cars, the coal chute doesn't match any I have drawings for (and that includes all that were around in 1952), and that appears to be a triple hopper on the coal chute delivery track while the Q used gons and twin hoppers to deliver company coal.  To me the first locomotive in line looks like a USRA Mike, but it's really hard to tell.  All the other Q negs from the group this person has listed on eBay are from Nebraska -- Lincoln, Fairmont and the Nebraska City branch.  I'm not familiar with NorthWestern/Omaha Road facilities along the Missouri, but I think that's a more likely road than the Q.

Hol - Doesn't look "Q" to me. The stored steam locomotive in the distance at far right looks like a C&NW 0-6-0 to me. If indeed Q, then maybe St. Joseph, MO, where the roundhouse was fairly close to the Missouri River. But, that LARGE steel fuel oil tank just doesn't look "Q" to me. Best Regards - Louis
