Re: [CBQ] Bayview

["Philip Weibler" <pawnbaw@sbcglobal.net>]

Hello Glen, Larry and All -

Hmmm...apparently BAY VIEW is two words.  Photo from the summer of 1953.  This was the last year that steam ran up the east side to Burlington.  P6a 4-4-2 #2584 was the regular locomotive on this run, and sometimes the 2583 showed up.

Looks like a short board mounted on the post at the right.  Suppose this could be pivoted to the upright position as a 'flag' for a flag stop????   PAW

The shelter at Bayview is shown on the CB&Q right/of/way map, and identified as being at survey station 1976+30, which calculates to MP 68.254.

Attached is the track chart with Bayview on it, just a bit north of Quincy.

It is between 68.25 and 68.45 on the track chart.

All-  Whilst you are looking at maps please keep an eye out for BAYVIEW, Illinois.  It was just north of Quincy on the Carthage branch and adjacent to the Upper Bay.  During WW2 landing barges were built at Quincy and apparently there was a side track at Bayview for handling material.

Have never been able to find it on a map, but I have a 1953 photo of the station sign there.  (By railroad rules 'station' is a place indicated by name.  No depot building is required)

Lemme know if you all find anything.  Thanx.    PAW

The chart has the wrong country for Illinois Junction, it should be Henderson. Bureau county is up along I-80.
