Leo, Thanks for posting that photo. It is a beauty. I found a color photo taken in 1961 that originally prompted my question about the Galena Junction depot on page 72 in Vol 1. of CB&Q Facilities. Since then other leads from the Barringer collection have led to uncovering additional track side photos of the depot taken from the North, through the Galena River bridge. Hope to someday find a photo of the backside of that depot for modeling purposes. I suppose the demolition of that depot was the first order of business by the BN. I have no idea as to when that depot was built or raised. Maybe someone on the list knows.
Interestingly enough, I rode the "Q" from Chicago to East Dubuque from 1963 until 1967 during my college years. I don't ever recall seeing that depot. I must have been preoccupied heading down from the dome to retrieve my luggage before detraining at East Dubuque.
Later, Dave Sarther

Recently there was a discussion about photos of the Galena Jct. depot. Can't recall if this one was included. It's from the CGW album of the Barriger collection. In case Yahoo blocks it go page 3,photo 149 in that album.
