Re: [CBQ] Color of Wooden Water Tanks

Here’s another phot of mine that is closer to the tank and it is silver, along with the diesel fuel tanks also silver.

Keith,

 

I attached some photos I took (Batavia and Yarmouth) and some of unknown origin (Clarinda and Bevier).

 

The Clarinda steel tank was white, so I think the Burlington depot tanks was also white, not silver as someone suggested earlier. The Yarmouth tank was moved to the Old Thrasher’s Reunion grounds, and I’m pretty sure the steel platform was newly constructed when it was moved. There is another tank photo in one of the Spoor color books of a wood tank in MO, but I don’t recall the name of the town.

Ken,

 

Thank you for the photo and the list of dimensions.  That is very helpful.  Is there any evidence of the CB&Q having a two-spout (two track) water tank or a wooden tank painted a light yellow?  Stay safe.
