HI Nelson and group.  Thanks for your e-mail and I searched my mailbox for your 
e-mails for the last 3 or 4 weeks and only found items about the Galesburg 
Zephyr.  I am sorry if I overlooked anything you sent me.  The picture you ask 
about was supplied by Randy Danniel and I have forwarded a copy of your e-mail 
to him this evening.  I freely admit I don't know squat about Burlington Yard 
only passing through on pool jobs a few times in the early 1970's  and never 
catching the Burlington switch engine.  I hope Randy and the group come up with 
some information concerning the picture and the structures you referred to.  
Regards  Bud Linroth.

       I posted the message below on
 the BRHS list two weeks ago, and I got zero response. I’m
 posting it here in hopes that a larger group might improve
 the chances that somebody out there has some answers.  A color photo of the
 Burlington, IA elevator appears  in mineral red paint with
 white concrete silos on page 171 of Bud Linroth’s book on
 the Quincy Branch. The photo is attributed to the Ed Seidler
 Collection, but the date of the photo isn’t given. The
 elevator roof was either dark green or black.  The head
 house was white. A grain dryer was in place at this time.
 This photo shows a mineral red double sheathed boxcar used
 as the yard office in Burlington. It was located South of
 the stock pens need the yard throat. Stock pen structure
 roofs appear to be tin, and the rest was painted mineral
 red. The fences aren’t visible. I sent an email to Bud
 Linroth, but it remains unanswered. I’m modeling
 Burlington in 1953, and I have several unanswered
 questions.  1.      What is the
 date the elevator photo was taken, when was the elevator
 painted white, or at least what color was the elevator
 painted in 1953?2.      Are there any
 additional color photos of the stock pens?3.      Are there any
 color photos of the freight house?4.      Based upon
 black and white photos, the water tank near the depot
 appears to have light colored paint, while the water tank
  near the service area appears to have a mineral red tank.
 What color was the water tank near the depot, aluminum or
 white?5.      Are there any
 color photos of the water treatment plant?  I planning to scratchbuild
 all of the yard structures except the water tanks (Tichy has
 very nice models of those), and I need as much prototype
 information as possible before beginning construction. I
 would appreciate it if the custodian of the Ed Seidler
 Collection would contact me with the date of the color photo
 of the elevator on page 171, and hopefully share other color
 photos that might be helpful in modeling the Burlingtion, IA
 yard.  Nelson Moyer
