I’m reading the email most recent first, so I’m not seeing them in sent order. The snow picture clearly shows silver. Thanks for the pictures, Dave. I’m about to
start doing structures for Burlington, and I need all the color photos I can get.

Subject: Re: [CBQ] Color of Wooden Water Tanks
Nelson,
Here is a color photo I took of the Burlington Yards that show the water tanks at the depot as being silver. Note the sand tower at the round house is still mineral red in
1971.

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.

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.
