Glen,

I'll be glad to to have it. From what I'm learning this was once a very large complex.

You're docs may be showing the last vestiges . Between those and the photos,etc I'm going to have a great start for the article.

I have been shocked by the verbal descriptions of how large and detailed this village was at acts its peak. I don't want to say more and would prefer to save the details for the 

Article.

Thanks,

Leo

This probably is not what you are looking for.  I have both a linen and a print of the Eola station map.  On the print, an old carbody is shown along side of the lead of the West Yard at the east end.  There is a caption next to it entitled 'Mexican Carbodies', but there is only one carbody shown on the print.  The linen faintly shows that there must have been 4 carbodies lined up in a row.  The carbodies were located parallel to and north of the yard lead, west of the old Schramm spur that went into the Eola town site.

Subject: [CBQ] Eola Boxcar Village-need help

 

 

I happened to meet a descendant of one of the original residents of the Eola boxcar village this weekend. We had an awesome conversation about old Aurora and the Q.
I am meeting him again tomorrow and will then have several photos of the village and residents and much more info. As I've told him I'm going to pick his brain.

The boxcar village was at the east end of the west yard at Eola. My understanding is it
Started when the Q had trouble finding workers for the new reclamation plant in 1923.

Here's where I need help. I've looked at 1958 and '64 track alignment charts and neither
Shows the village. I've also check all the logical photo books? I know I've seen a map of Eola showing the village.

Can anyone help with that ? Or any additional photos ?

This is for a future article for the BRHS.

Thanks,

Leo
