Thanks, Allen (and Bob Campbell) for your replies. The plan I have appears to be the same one as the 1924 plan you refer to. It is a plan view only, and describes the baggage doors, but contains no e
I believe it was 1914, but it might have been 1913. I am away home right now, when I get back I will check the date and verify. This particular signal bridge is one of the few that has never moved si
The book of Operation Data Sheets reprinted by the BRHS in 1998 shows a number of trains with the same schedule. Examples that I can find, using the 1968-69 train numbers: 60 and 100 east of P. Jct 6
Prior to the 1960 line change and new high level bridge, and prior to the removal of the Quincy Loop and the Lower Bay Bridge, was there a direct route from the Galesburg Main toward West Quincy that
Russ: I'm just now catching up on emails, so I did not see your initial request on Joy Prairie. According to the Q map the Centerline of the former depot at Joy Prairie was at survey station 234+41 s
Rick: Do you have a copy of the alignment charts from the 60's that (I believe) Steve Holding put on CD? A study of these would give you quite a bit of information about the locations of welded rail
Russ: Boysen Tunnel is on a line change at the south end of Wind River Canyon, between Bonneville and Greybull, Wyoming Glen Haug To: CBQ@yahoogroups.com From: normansen@groundcontrol.us Date: Sun, 1
At Galesburg, after leaving the depot area, did the Quincy Main go over the Peoria Passenger Main on a bridge? The alignment charts seem to show the tracks this way. If so, was the clearance minimal?
What is known about a station named Sollers on the line between Galesburg and Savanna, a mile or so north of Oliver. The station name shows up on alignment charts, but I don't see references in timet
Bob: My alignment chart is from the mid 60's, so is probably the same one that Russ Strodtz posted of 1965 era. This picture shows the Quincy Main heading south just after leaving the depot. Prior to
I have another construction question, this time about Jacksonville, IL, specifically about MP 10 to MP 11.8 (south end of Curve 11A). The alignment chart shows construction of this section to be 1872
Glenn: Your question caught my eye, as I have been recently studying this segment of the railroad along with all of the line changes. I will post some information when I am finished. Glen Haug To: CB
Gerald: I don't have any original timetables that old, but I did look on an old track profile from Denrock to Savanna that is dated February 1909, and it shows a reference to Ayres Tower at survey st
I have been studying the Twin Cities double tracking and line changes, and this has been fascinating. Many questions have developed, but I will ask only two here, both between Savanna and Galena Jct.
There were a number of center sidings on the line up to St. Paul, constructed in the late 20's. I am looking for specific dates for Cassville (1928?), Lytle (1926?), and Hastings (1928?). This inform
I'm confused about some dates for the 2nd track from Herrington to Graf. The alignment chart suggests 1946 for construction (rail is 1946) and also 1946 for CTC. Regarding construction, 1946 may be t
According to the maps I have seen, Amen Colorado was the original name for Logan Colorado, which is between Sterling and Cheyenne. I believe this station was abandoned before the line was actually ab
I'm looking for a fairly precise location of the point of switch from the Galesburg line to the Savanna line in 60's, when the line from Galesburg was truncated at Plum River. Is there anyone on the
