Thread-topic: [CBQ] Color of Wooden Water Tanks

No, I’m only reporting the caption on the slide scan I received. Wherever it was, it was once painted mineral red.

Nelson I have that same photo of a steel water tank, marked as Villisca. Are you sure it is Clarinda?

 

Attached is a photo taken at Villisca in the early 50s, showing the water tank behind the steam engines. Note it is a dark color. Photo is by Pete Hedgpeth. I believe I also have a slide of the Villisca water tank, but will have to dig it out and scan it.

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.
