Re: [CBQ] Q Transfer Yards

["qutlx1@aol.com [CBQ]" <CBQ@yahoogroups.com>]

At one time Western Ave yard was the Q's major Chicago yard where transfers were handled. I have an early yard track diagram showing a good portion the yard dedicated to those runs.

Later as Western Ave became more of an industry yard,Cicero became the origin and destination point for transfers. Foreign road transfers primarily delivered into the receiving yard and the Q transfers left primarily from 'D' yard.

Hello, Group:

I am modeling a mythical Q transfer yard, of which there once were hundreds in and around Chicago operated by various railroads in the 30s and 40s.

Could someone please tell me some example of areal Q transfer yards and what union rules governed them? For example, at other yards, foreign lines could deliver to Railroad B's transfer yard, then must return light. Railroad B would sort and then deliver cars to interchange roads using their own power. Other roads could not pick up cars from Railroad B's transfer yard.

Thanks for the help.
