Don, Alan Brotherton grew up in the Ashton area, in the time period you
describe. He now lives in Muscatine, still building CBQ models, and is still
taking photos.

Subject: [CBQ] Burlington bulletin and Brotherton
I received mine today and it is great. I know the area fairly well
growing up across the river in Missouri. We used to go to Keokuk for
shopping and I took girlfriends to the drive in there. The K&W line ran
by my high school in Kahoka and grade school in Ashton. The picture of
the freight near Memphis reminded me of the once or twice weekly freight
that interrupted high school. My brother and I climbed on freight cars
in Wayland.
The article reminded me of something else by so pictures of the Keokuk
turntable by Alan L Brotherton. When I was in grade school in the late
50s some Brotherons lived across the road in Ashton. An older brother
had a model railroad in an out building. This was the first model
railroad I had ever seen and hooked me completely and has lasted all
these many years. I do remember that he had a brass Mckeen car,
something I am looking for myself. Not sure if it is the same people or
not, if anyone knows please let me know.
