Our unidentified roundhouse certainly has the same masonry design at this one, with a pair of tall, thin, multi-light windows for each stall.  I'm just about convinced it's  C&NW or Omaha Road.

I can tell you that is not Sioux City.  The Northwestern/Omaha road was not even close to the Missouri.  Sioux City is below

Hol - Yes, I'll go along with the roundhouse belonging to the Northwestern/Omaha Road. If true, then Council Bluffs or may be Sioux City, IA, come to mind. That LARGE steel tank still makes me wonder.... It's certainly not for water. That would mean it was for diesel fuel. Yet, not a diesel in view. Such a LARGE tank for what appears to be a division point roundhouse. Hopefully, someone in this Group can pass to one of the C&NW groups and see if one of their members can ID. Thanks and best regards - Louis

Louis:

 

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

Can anyone in the group identify this Burlington roundhouse beside a large river -- though not as large as the Mississippi.  I'm at a loss to identify it.  Of brick construction, it has 14 exhaust jacks and therefore 14 stalls.  That's a brick power plant and machine shop building adjacent to it, and there's a Q standard 50,000-gallon wooden water tank on steel supports, a large steel storage tank, possibly for fuel oil, and a big wooden coal chute in the distance, along with three possibly stored steam locomotives, though the coal chute is still active as there are hoppers on the delivery track.  The negative of this image is currently for sale on eBay, and it's supposedly taken in 1952.  Archie has confirmed that my first thought, Hannibal, is not correct, as, among other things, the roundhouse and river are both too small.  I have looked at roundhouse lists and there are very few possibilities.  I thought possibly Greybull, Wyo., but the Greybull River is on the other side of town from the roundhouse, which also is of wooden construction.  Gibson roundhouse at Omaha comes to mind, but it was also wooden and the coal chute is wrong, among other things.  I'm baffled; I'm hopeful one of you can identify it.
