Re: [CBQ] Galesburg Water Treatment Plant

["wcman8 via groups.io" <wcman8=yahoo.com@groups.io>]

Attached is an article from the Galesburg water department stating that Galesburg started using the Oquawka pipeline in the 1950's.  I have some photos of the CB&Q water treatment plant at Saluda that were taken by the company photographer.  I will hunt for them later today.

Oh,  are you referring to the water line?  If so, I apologize.

I don't believe the Oquawka line was built until the 1950's.

What is interesting about this is that Galesburg gets its water from an aquifer in Oquawka, 32 miles away by the Mississippi.  The Burlington also served Oquawka.
