Re: [CBQ] Track Scales

["William Hirt" <whirt@fastmail.com>]

Glen,

Thank you. Somewhere in my collection I have a BN local notice from 1982 about the Leavenworth, Kansas, Bay State Milling scale. Bay State was complaining about the local switch crew running across the scale and damaging it. The stationed local at Leavenworth was discontinued shortly afterwards. I suspect there was some kind of connection between the two.

Per request from Nelson Moyer, attached is a list of track scales as of 6/22/72, which should include all former CB&Q track scales in place at that time.  Scales are listed by location, ownership, length and capacity in tons.  The file is 2MB, so hopefully it will attach successfully.

The list includes privately owned scales, because it was created to identify all scales that railroad scale inspectors were responsible for inspecting.  Railroads typically provided inspection services (for a fee) for private scale owners.

Glen, will you please post the BN scale list. That could answer many questions about multiple marks for the same station, e.g. SJ and STJ for St. Joseph, MO and HAN and HB for Hannibal. We know Dayton’ Bluff changed from DF to DB with the merger. This is important to steam and transition era modelers in particular.

 

The Streator scale was from Fairbanks per the table on page 58 of BB#27. I’ve never seen Plattsmouth reporting marks on a car, but it’s on the BB#27 list. All of the rest of the entries are known reweigh stations. Why not Plattsmouth?
