The Streator scale evidently survived the merger, as it was included on a list, dated June 22, 1972, of BN and privately owned scales to be tested by BN Scale Inspectors. It was shown on that list as a 50' static scale, 125 ton capacity, owned by BN. The
manufacturer was not listed, but my guess is that it was either Fairbanks-Morse or Strait.

Subject: [CBQ] Streator scale track
Group,
The other day Nelson Moyer posted about reweigh stations and reminded me of the table on page 58 of Burlington Bulletin 27 showing locations of scale tracks. One of the places listed is Streator, Ill. and I commented on not knowing about that having done plenty
of research on this area. Turns out I was "misremembering" as I do have a document showing the location of that track. It is from a Q Side Track Record with a last revision date of Jan. 1928 which would slightly predate the illustration showing the Fairbanks
scale installations. Attached is a portion of that Side Track Record. The scale track is numbered 61.
With information there are always follow up questions. Does anybody remember this scale track being in place in Streator and when it may have been removed from service? Thanks.
Eric Mumper
