It appears to me the frog is to the left of the crossing, photographically speaking.  I THINK that is the stand just left of the diamond on the near side of the MILW track. On 7/25/2017 10:14 PM, rwo

I don't doubt the first one a bit.  However I was at one time a qualified track inspector and don't recall offhand that the FRA had any regs on tonnage.  The various parameters of track maintenance d

It was a different world, for sure.  A similar situation, altho not on the CB&Q, sometimes happened at a yard I was at.  While usually midnights was busy, on a few occasions things were fairly quiet,

Curious whether this was a screw-up on the part of some low-level supervisor, or if the cars handled were of such extreme urgency that the powers that be said hang the cost, move the cars regardless.

That's for sure.  I know of one eastern railroad which had removed their steam loco facilities.  They had pumped water from deep in the ground, and were left with only a pipe where the well had been.

NYC and Q shared power on LS-3 westbound, and I believe NY-4 eastbound.  (I'm certain on LS-3, not positive it was NY-4).  Don't know what symbols they were on CB&Q, nor where they went to off NYC.

Very interesting, and a long and interesting life they led!  Thanks for the research and details.  The only thing I would question is the remark about no turning facilities dictating a center cupola.

Standard practice for most lines was that the 27-pin electrical MU jumper was located up above.  The various air MU hoses were down below, and were duplicated on each side.  You did not have to have
