Re: [CBQ] Terminal Jct. Location?

["Bud Linroth" <wcman8@gmail.com>]

Hi Mike.  Terminal Junction is on the section of the original Rockford, Rock Island and St. Louis that was completed between Orion and Rock Island in 1871.  Terminal Junction is where the Rock Island crossed the Q. Milw and Dri&NW.  It is about 10 miles west of Barstow at Mile Post 252.16. The end of the original R,RI, & St.L line was at the Rock Island Passenger station at MP 252.80.  Bud Linroth

The latest issue of Model Railroader has a photo of CB&Q orders hung at a dispatcher's desk dating from the early '50s.  I don't have the issue in front of me but one of the order makes a reference to "Terminal Jct." in an order annulling a Train #51 between Galesburg and Barstow.  Not having a timetable in front of me was Terminal Jct. the name of the switch to the north of the station where what BNSF calls the Barstow Sub veers to the north off of the mainlines?

The article is unfortunately, for us, written using the area around Tehachapi Loop, California as an example of issuing train orders and the CB&Q photo, while nice, is simply there to show train orders.
