Re: [CBQ] Terminal Jct. Location?

Hey MSW!  That's fantastic!  That's exactly the photograph Model Railroader used to illustrate their article on issuing train orders.  They credit it to the CB&Q and a copy is in the David P. Morgan Library (I think that may be the name of the library archives the NMRA has in Chatanooga).

Might this be the image in question?

Mike:

Can you tell me what month’s issue of Model Railroader this is in?  My local hobby shop and Barnes and Noble are behind on stocking their magazines.

Thanks!

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.
