Re: [CBQ] Carthage Junction

Hi Thomas,

 

Carthage Junction (also known as Illinois Jct.) is located at the eastern end of the Q’s Mississippi River bridge, across the river from Burlington, Iowa.  From the research I’ve done on the Burlington area, this junction was interlocked early and later by CTC, both methods controlled by the operators at Wood Tower in Burlington.

 

I’ve attached an alignment chart showing the Jct. and a photo from the Barringer collection that shows the only known building and one of the Massey concrete instrument houses there.

Hello,

 

I'm in search of pictures and information about Carthage Junction, Illinois; specifically, any railroad structures that stood there such as a depot and/or tower.

 

Thanks,

Thomas
