Re: [CBQ] CB&Q at Woodlawn, IL

["James Walton" <whovianwil@gmail.com>]

To expand on this, I'm not really modelling the L&N. I'm modelling a scenario where the NC&StL acquired the Evansville-St. Louis line. I think that in case the Q could be pretty helpful providing a direct to the NC&StL at Paducah for traffic headed south.

In that timeframe, there was not a lot of interchange activity at Woodlawn. From a Q standpoint, if it was going west, the Q handled via the B&O trackage rights. from Shattac. If it was going east, it went by a "friendly" connection with the B&O. If was going south, then it was interchanged with the NC&StL at Paducah. L&N interchange to Q was at East St. Louis. Of course, the shipper could specify otherwise. Q power was steam, 2-8-2's and 2-10-4's.

I'm thinking of modelling the L&N around 1948-1954.

What timeframe? I wrote a book basically about the Concord-Paducah line. If you can get ahold of Burlington Bulletin #35, "The Q in the Coal Fields" , all of the answers are there. John D. Mitchell. By the way, the interchange at Woodlawn really did not grow much until after the L&N-NC&St.L merger.

Hi, I'm interested in modelling the L&N Evansville Division, which interchanged with the CB&Q at Woodlawn. Does anyone know what kinds locomotives and traffic were commonly used on the CB&Q Concord-Paducah line?
