Guy's:

Thank you for all of the great information. My knowledge of all of this comes second or third hand. I am a city boy (yea I'm now retired) born and raised. My mom was a city girl. Dad was a country boy. All of his Grandparents homesteaded in Smith County Kansas in the 1880's. His parents grew up on farms there. My knowledge comes from family stories and memoirs that I have read. Therefore there are big gaps in my knowledge.

I love the way the members of this group are able to educate and fill in all of these gaps.

I want to say a big thank you to the group and all of it's members you are a resource to be treasured.

IIRC the Q owned stock pens primarily used for feed, water, and rest were Alliance, Lincoln, Galesburg and Montgomery.  When I first started at the Q one of my duties was to write a monthly report on livestock handled at each of the above locations.  I wondered why the Sales Department did this at the time and I still wonder about it.  The Q did have a livestock sales group with representatives at key locations on the railroad.  It was headquartered out of Omaha (that does make sense).

I think Doug has given you as good an answer as you will find. I haven’t read the article, merely knew where to find it, having looked at another volume a couple of days ago.

If you go to https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/000499248 you can look at other volumes between 1891 and 1923. For example, there is a description and diagram of a cinder pit at https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015003725721;view=1up;seq=213 and information about split rails and drawbridge locks at https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015003725721;view=1up;seq=643

Rupert and Doug:

 

Correct me if I am wrong but what I get from the report is that provisions for wetting, watering and feeding stock was mainly on the mainline and not on the branch lines.
