Re: [CBQ] Did the Burlington cut and ship its own ice ?

Richard,

 

Did you happen to mean Ottumwa and not Ottawa?  Also, who published the book and when?

Thanks, Rick. BTW I’ve got an autographed copy of  Remembering the Southeast Iowa’s Peavine: Rail line-Fort Madison to Ottawa (1871-1981).. It is a wonderful 102 page issue  full of maps, photos, tables, and text. I’n going thru it now looking for ice operations.

Yes, that is the water tank used by switch engines working the Purington branch.  In later years after the pump house and tank were dismantled and the Q started used Purington water or East Galesburg city water for the branch, a standpipe was erected in the nearly exact same location of the tank.  The remnants of this standpipe stood in place until the branch was abandoned in the late 1970's.
