Re: [CBQ] Help - Do you recognize this location?

I agree with Brandon. Looking at the Fan Trips list, this was likely be September 5th or 6th, 1964, when the Q ran St. Louis-Centralia trips. The 306 was repainted into Chinese red after this photos at some point.

Carl,

 

I believe that picture was taken in East Alton, Illinois, the train coming off the CCC& StL there.  That is most probably the "Big Four" depot.  The train order signal is a GRS type "G" signal head commonly used by the New York Central System.  Don't ask how I know it is East Alton, but I swear to have seen another picture from that same vantage point before, with that signal and depot, and recall the caption identifying East Alton as the location.
