[CBQ] CB&Q Livestock Cars

["Dale Grice" <dfgrice@gmail.com>]

    Since the subject of stock cars came up; Attached are a couple of
    scans from Tom Hammer's negatives showing a couple of CB&Q stock
    cars on the NKP. From the order of the negatives, it looks like they
    are being set out somewhere in NKP territory. I have no data as to
    location. But look at that chimney and the other stacks look to be
    on a roundhouse. I can only guess that this is in 1957 or 1958 from
    my conversation with Tom.

Yes that is correct, Calumet City was the IHB feed and rest yard.

Wasn’t Calumet City the IHB feed and rest yard ? If so these sheep are being reloaded for movement to eastern markets. The Q would have interchanged them to the Harbor at the “Park” (Congress Park).
