I'm not going to give up on it; I'll just continue to gather photos and any additional coal chute diagrams that may turn up.

Hol, the CD has some notable omissions, Burlington and Winfield Iowa for example, and doesn’t include any photos, so please don’t abandon the project entirely. While I have several photos of the Burlington coal pocket, I don’t have company plans. I have nothing on Winfield except that it was 16 x 61 ft., and I don’t know when it was removed.

I've long been assembling material for a Burlington Bulletin article on coaling facilities, using the same drawings on the BRHS CD, but its production has caused me to put the project on a back burner.  Nonetheless, here are a number of photos that I currently have scanned that may be of assistance.

Group,

The BRHS CD on Q coaling stations arrived yesterday and to my pleasant surprise had a diagram for the Streator coaling station.  The odds of finding a picture of this are slim to none since it sat on the main a bit to the north of the area where the steamers were parked.  The good thing is it looks like Oakland, Nebraska and Clarinda, Iowa are basically the same.  The one in Clarinda says it was moved to E. St. Louis in 1945.  Would anyone have or know of pictures of either of these coaling stations?  Being in E. St. Louis brings the odds of a picture way up and it may be in a background of a picture in one of the books.  I am going through them now.  The TRRA historical group may be of help as well although I am not a member there.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Eric Mumper
