Bud, et al.

Thanks for the reply. I sent the original email to the BRHS Yahoo Group, so 
maybe you aren't on that list. Anyway, Hol Wagner contacted me today with the 
information that the photo was likely taken around 1957, and that the light 
colored water tank was painted aluminum color. The other questions remain 
unanswered.

I have some additional questions for the group. Does anyone know when the 
concrete silos for the Burlington elevator were built? I'm pretty sure they 
were there in 1953, but I'd like to know for sure. Another question is about 
how cinders were handled. I found out from Randy Danniel that there was an ash 
pit near the coal pocket, but I haven't seen a clear photo showing the ash pit 
or how ashes were removed. Since there is no ash conveyor in the photo, I 
assume that the ashes were shoveled into a gondola. Randy provided some 
information about sand service. He sent a photo of a boxcar and conveyor 
unloading sand to the sand drying house. That was a major revelation, as I 
thought sand would have been delivered in gondolas before the widespread use of 
covered hoppers.

Randy also provided some information about the water treatment plant, but color 
photos have been elusive. One of the best new things I got from Randy was a 
partial photo of the storehouse.

As my layout nears the end of the construction phase, I'm turning my attention 
to structures, almost all of which will have to be scratchbuilt. Since 
prototype plans aren't available yet, I'm relying solely on photos, with the 
intent of drawing my own plans for construction. Any and all help is welcome!

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
