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

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.
